Quartz Crystal Unit Handling Precautions
1.
Mounting Precautions
1.1 Lead Type Crystal Units
1.1.1 Structure
Tubular crystal units (VT, VTC, MGQ, and MAT) are hermetically sealed using glass (see Figures 1 and 2).

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).

needle-nose pliers

1.1.3 Bending the lead
(1) Bend the lead so that the lead remains straight for more than 0.5mm from the case when soldering after bending
a lead. 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).

Figure 5
Figure 6
Figure 7
Make the length from the case to the printed
circuit board (L) longer than the case diameter
(D) so that the lead wire will not be pulled if the
crystal unit falls over.
Soldering directly to the case will reduce the degree of vacuum and may result
in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal chip.
1.1.4 Soldering
Heat the lead wire at a temperature of less than 280°C for 5 seconds or less, when mounting or removing a
crystal unit. A long period time of heating may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the
crystal unit.

SMD Type Quartz Crystal Units
Soldering
(1) For mounting, it is recommended to solder at less than 230°C for 20 seconds or less. An example of
the infrared ray reflow temperature profile is shown as follows (see Figure 8).

2.
Cleaning
(1) Since low or intermediate frequency crystal units (VT ,VTC, and MGQ) or oscillators use a small, thin crystal
chip and the frequency approximates the frequency of an ultrasonic cleaner, the crystal chip may break
easily. Therefore, DO NOT perform ultrasonic cleaning.
(2) Other crystal units may also break depending upon the ultrasonic cleaning condition. Please check the
ultrasonic cleaning condition.
3.
Mechanical Shock
(1) The quartz crystal units are designed to withstand a drop from a height of 75 cm onto a hard wooden board
at least three times. However, the crystal chip may break if dropped, depending upon the how they are
dropped. Ensure that the crystal unit functions normally, if the crystal units have been dropped or subjected
to an excessive mechanical shock.
(2) Unlike chip parts for resistors, and capacitors, the crystal unit has a crystal chip which is hermetically sealed
inside. Before using the crystal units, check the influence of shock caused during automatic mounting.
