AS-13.560MDIE-B Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The AS-13.560MDIE-B is a 13.56 MHz through-hole crystal oscillator manufactured by TXC CORPORATION. This component operates at a fundamental frequency with ±20ppm stability and 12pF load capacitance in an HC-49/US package. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. Substitute parts must maintain the same frequency, load capacitance, and operating mode while accommodating variations in frequency stability, ESR, temperature range, and mounting technology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the AS-13.560MDIE-B is determined by strict adherence to the following non-negotiable parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Frequency: 13.56 MHz
• Load Capacitance: 12pF
• Operating Mode: Fundamental

Allowed Variation Parameters:

• Frequency Stability: ±20ppm to ±30ppm (wider tolerance acceptable for non-critical applications)
• ESR: 40 Ohms to 100 Ohms (circuit design must accommodate)
• Operating Temperature Range: May be narrower or equal to original
• Mounting Type: Through Hole or Surface Mount (application dependent)
• Package: HC-49/US or equivalent SMD form factor

The substitute parts identified maintain the core frequency and load capacitance specifications while offering different ESR characteristics, temperature ranges, and mounting technologies. Selection depends on application requirements and PCB assembly capabilities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Through-Hole Applications (Direct Replacement):

The 9B-13.560MAAE-B serves as a through-hole substitute for the AS-13.560MDIE-B. Both components use the HC-49/US package and through-hole mounting. The 9B variant exhibits ±30ppm frequency stability compared to the original ±20ppm, and operates at 40 Ohms ESR versus 60 Ohms. The operating temperature range is narrower (-20°C ~ 70°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). This substitute is suitable for applications where the reduced temperature range and wider frequency tolerance are acceptable. The 9B-13.560MAAE-B is also obsolete but maintains higher inventory availability (1921 Pcs).

For Surface-Mount Applications (Technology Migration):

The AM-13.560MDHE-T represents a technology upgrade path from through-hole to surface-mount assembly. This part maintains the same frequency, load capacitance, and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) as the original. The AM variant features 100 Ohms ESR and ±30ppm frequency stability. Critically, the AM-13.560MDHE-T holds Active product status and carries AEC-Q200 certification, making it suitable for new designs and long-term availability. The 4-SMD, No Lead package requires compatible PCB footprints and assembly equipment.

Compliance Considerations:

All three parts are RoHS compliant. The AS-13.560MDIE-B and AM-13.560MDHE-T carry AEC-Q200 automotive-grade certification. The 9B-13.560MAAE-B does not list AEC-Q200 certification. For applications requiring automotive-grade reliability, the AM-13.560MDHE-T is the preferred active substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 9B-13.560MAAE-B directly replace the AS-13.560MDIE-B in existing designs?

A: Yes, for through-hole PCB layouts. Both use HC-49/US packages and through-hole mounting. However, verify that your oscillator circuit design accommodates the 40 Ohms ESR (versus 60 Ohms original) and ±30ppm frequency stability (versus ±20ppm original). If your application operates within -20°C to 70°C, the narrower temperature range is acceptable.

Q: What are the key differences between the 9B-13.560MAAE-B and AM-13.560MDHE-T?

A: The 9B variant is a through-hole HC-49/US package with 40 Ohms ESR and obsolete status. The AM variant is a surface-mount 4-SMD package with 100 Ohms ESR and active product status. The AM maintains the full -40°C to 85°C temperature range and AEC-Q200 certification. Choose based on your PCB assembly technology and long-term availability requirements.

Q: Does ESR variation affect circuit compatibility?

A: ESR affects oscillator startup characteristics and frequency stability. The original AS part specifies 60 Ohms. The 9B substitute operates at 40 Ohms (lower), and the AM substitute operates at 100 Ohms (higher). Your oscillator circuit design must accommodate these variations. Consult your oscillator IC datasheet for ESR operating ranges.

Q: Can I use the AM-13.560MDHE-T in a through-hole design?

A: No. The AM-13.560MDHE-T is a surface-mount 4-SMD component requiring SMD PCB footprints and reflow soldering. It is not compatible with through-hole PCB designs without significant redesign.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: The AM-13.560MDHE-T holds Active product status, indicating ongoing manufacturing and support. Both the AS-13.560MDIE-B and 9B-13.560MAAE-B are classified as obsolete. For new designs, the AM-13.560MDHE-T is recommended.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The AS-13.560MDIE-B and AM-13.560MDHE-T are RoHS compliant. The 9B-13.560MAAE-B is ROHS3 compliant. All meet RoHS requirements for new applications.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 certification?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive-grade reliability standard. The AS-13.560MDIE-B and AM-13.560MDHE-T carry this certification. The 9B-13.560MAAE-B does not list AEC-Q200. For automotive or high-reliability applications, select AEC-Q200 certified parts.
