To determine frequency stability, use parabolic curvature (K).
For example: What is stability at 45C?
1) Change in T (°C) = 45-25 = 20
2) Change in frequency = -0.04 PPM * (acy
= -0.04 PPM * (20)
= -16.0 PPM

Mounting Precautions** ## **1.1 Lead Type Crystal Units** ## 1.1.1.

## 1.1.2 Unbending the lead - (1) DO NOT pull the lead excessively if unbending a lead or removing a crystal unit. The excessive force may crack the glass and reduce the degree of vacuum. This may eventually result in deterioration of the characteristics and may also break the crystal chip see Figure 3). - (2) Unbend the lead by pressing on the bent part from both the upper and lower sides with fixing the bottom of lead tightly. (see Figure 4). **==> picture [81 x 106] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Page 1 of 2 7/7/2011 ## 1.1.3 Bending the lead - (1) Bend the lead so that the lead will remain straight for more than 0.5mm from the case when soldering a crystal unit after bending. If not, the glass may be cracked (see Figures 5 and 6). - (2) Always leave a length greater than the case diameter when bending a lead after soldering (see Figure 7). **==> picture [453 x 183] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## 1.1.4 Soldering When mounting or removing a quartz crystal unit, heat the lead part at 300°C or lower for 5 seconds or less (in the case of a lead-type conventional product). A long period of time of heating may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal unit. Be sure to keep the case at or below 150°C.
