Product details
Overview
QB-128GF-YQ-01T from Q-Tech Corporation is a quartz crystal unit operating at 12.8 MHz with ±10 ppm frequency tolerance, 12 pF load capacitance, and fundamental-mode AT-cut resonator construction; used in microcontroller clocking and serial communication interfaces requiring stable timing reference.
For engineers reviewing the QB-128GF-YQ-01T datasheet, QB-128GF-YQ-01T pinout, QB-128GF-YQ-01T application, or QB-128GF-YQ-01T equivalent, this page provides verified mechanical drawings, confirmed electrical parameters, and validated alternative options for timing-critical embedded designs.
Technical Context
This 12.8 MHz fundamental-mode AT-cut quartz crystal is designed for parallel-resonant operation with 12 pF load capacitance and exhibits series resistance (ESR) ≤ 40 Ω at 25°C. It complies with JEDEC JESD22-A108 thermal cycling requirements and supports operating temperatures from −20°C to +70°C.
The device uses a hermetically sealed HC-49/US package with through-hole leads and silver-plated brass terminals. Frequency stability over temperature is specified as ±10 ppm across the full operating range, with aging of ±3 ppm per year maximum.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for QB-128GF-YQ-01T?
QB-128GF-YQ-01T operates reliably from −20°C to +70°C. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD22-A104 temperature cycling tests and supports deployment in commercial and light-industrial environments. The specification applies to both frequency stability and ESR performance across the full span.
Is QB-128GF-YQ-01T compatible with standard Pierce oscillator circuits?
Yes, QB-128GF-YQ-01T is fully compatible with standard CMOS Pierce oscillator configurations using 12 pF load capacitance. Its ESR of ≤40 Ω ensures robust startup and sustained oscillation with common microcontroller clock drivers such as those found in STM32F0/F1 and PIC16F series.
Does QB-128GF-YQ-01T require external load capacitors?
QB-128GF-YQ-01T requires two external 12 pF load capacitors-one from each terminal to ground-as defined by its specified load capacitance. These capacitors must be placed adjacent to the crystal pins to minimize stray capacitance and ensure accurate frequency calibration.
What is the aging specification for QB-128GF-YQ-01T?
QB-128GF-YQ-01T has a maximum aging rate of ±3 ppm per year under normal operating conditions (25°C, 50% RH). This value is measured after initial 30-day stabilization and reflects long-term drift due to internal stress relaxation in the quartz blank and seal integrity.
Can QB-128GF-YQ-01T be substituted with a 32.768 kHz watch crystal?
No, QB-128GF-YQ-01T operates at 12.8 MHz and is not functionally interchangeable with 32.768 kHz watch crystals. The frequency, load capacitance, ESR, and oscillator circuit requirements differ fundamentally; substituting would prevent system clock initialization and cause complete functional failure.
