Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 30 MHz (exact match required)
• Output Configuration: CMOS (exact match required)
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V (exact match required)
• Enable/Disable Function: Present (exact match required)
• Package Type: 4-SMD, No Lead (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Frequency Stability: ±50ppm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -10°C ~ 70°C (exact match required)

The 7X-30.000MBB-T meets all substitution criteria based on these parameters. However, product status and supply chain considerations must be evaluated during component selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For new designs and production applications, the ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 is the appropriate selection. This component maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (806 units), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and design continuity.

The 7X-30.000MBB-T, while electrically and mechanically compatible, carries obsolete status. This designation indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. Selection of this part should be restricted to legacy system maintenance or repair applications where existing inventory exists.

Both components satisfy ROHS3/RoHS compliance requirements and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7X-30.000MBB-T directly replace the ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 in existing designs?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both parts share identical frequency (30 MHz), output type (CMOS), supply voltage (3.3V), enable/disable functionality, package configuration (4-SMD, No Lead), and operating temperature range (-10°C ~ 70°C). However, the 7X-30.000MBB-T is obsolete, making it unsuitable for new production.

Q: What are the differences in current consumption between these parts?

A: The ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 draws a maximum of 13mA during operation, while the 7X-30.000MBB-T draws up to 20mA. For power-sensitive applications, the ASE part offers superior efficiency. Both parts maintain identical disable current specifications at 10µA and below.

Q: Are there physical mounting differences?

A: Both components use identical 4-SMD, No Lead packages with 3.20mm x 2.50mm footprints. The seated height differs slightly: ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 at 1.20mm maximum versus 7X-30.000MBB-T at 1.10mm maximum. This minor variation does not affect PCB layout compatibility for standard applications.

Q: What does "obsolete" status mean for the TXC part?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. While existing inventory may be available through distributors, future availability cannot be guaranteed. New designs should not incorporate obsolete components.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The ASE-30.000MHZ-C-T3 is ROHS3 compliant, and the 7X-30.000MBB-T is RoHS compliant. Both meet current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.
