Description
Vectron International has introduced a series of low profile
surface mount, Temperature Compensated Crystal
Oscillators (TCXO’s) available in frequencies from 1 to 77.76
MHz.
The TC-350 series surface mount TCXO can be mounted
using the standard convection reflow process. Current drain
to less than 5 mA is available upon request. Aging <5 ppm
for ten years.

Recommended Reflow Profile
pre-heating
60 to 90 sec.
at 150°C to 170°C
reflow
20 to 40 sec.
at > 200°C
Note: TCXO’s are precision subsystems with tolerances measured to 0.01 ppm. Non-
Hermetically sealed TCXO’s should not be subjected to a wash process that will immerse the
TCXO in solvents. NO CLEAN is the recommended procedure. The TC-350 series of TCXO’s has
been designed for pick and place reflow soldering. The suggested reflow profile is shown above.
The TCXO may be relfowed one time in the non-inverted state. Typical frequency shift as a result
of reflow is <1.0 ppm per reflow. VI recommends waiting at least two hours after reflow below
measuring the unit.

Standard Shipping Method
The Standard ship method for volume production of the TC-350 series is in a matrix
tray. These trays are 100% recyclable. The trays also offer the added feature that they
can be continuously feed into a pick-n-place machine eliminating the down time
required with tape-n-reel.

Handling Precautions
Although protection circuitry has been designed into
this device, proper precautions should be taken to avoid
exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during han-
dling and mounting. VI employs a human-body model
*HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-sus-
ceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. ESD
voltage thresholds are depending on the circuit parame-
ters used to define the mode.
Although no industry-wide standard has been adopt-
ed for the CDM, a standard HBM (resistance =1500
ohms, capacitance - 1000 pf) is widely used and therefore
can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD
threshold presented here was obtained by using these cir-
cuit parameters.
