Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TC-6.000MBE-T is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Frequency: 6 MHz (exact match required)
• Output Type: CMOS (exact match required)
• Supply Voltage: 3.3V (exact match required)
• Function: Enable/Disable (exact match required)
• Frequency Stability: ±50ppm (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Package / Case: 4-SMD, No Lead (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount (exact match required)
• Size / Dimension: 0.126" L x 0.098" W (3.20mm x 2.50mm) (exact match required)

The 7X-6.000MBE-T qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all critical parameters listed above.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 7X-6.000MBE-T is a direct substitute for the obsolete TC-6.000MBE-T. Selection of the 7X-6.000MBE-T is supported by the following factors:

• Product Status: The 7X-6.000MBE-T is Active, providing ongoing availability and manufacturing support, whereas the TC-6.000MBE-T is Obsolete.
• Compliance: The 7X-6.000MBE-T is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.
• Electrical Compatibility: All critical electrical parameters—frequency, output type, supply voltage, function, frequency stability, and operating temperature range—are identical between the two parts.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical package type, mounting type, and footprint dimensions (0.126" L x 0.098" W / 3.20mm x 2.50mm).
• Supply Current: The 7X-6.000MBE-T operates at 20mA maximum supply current, compared to 25mA for the TC-6.000MBE-T, representing a 20% reduction in power consumption.
• Height Difference: The 7X-6.000MBE-T has a maximum seated height of 0.043" (1.10mm) versus 0.031" (0.80mm) for the TC-6.000MBE-T. This 0.012" (0.30mm) difference must be evaluated for clearance in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 7X-6.000MBE-T be used as a direct replacement for the TC-6.000MBE-T?

A: Yes. The 7X-6.000MBE-T meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for substitution: 6 MHz frequency, CMOS output, 3.3V supply, Enable/Disable function, ±50ppm frequency stability, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, and 4-SMD, No Lead package with identical footprint dimensions.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The TC-6.000MBE-T uses a MEMS resonator, while the 7X-6.000MBE-T uses a crystal resonator. Both deliver identical electrical performance. The 7X-6.000MBE-T is Active and RoHS Compliant, whereas the TC-6.000MBE-T is Obsolete.

Q: Does the height difference affect PCB layout?

A: The 7X-6.000MBE-T has a maximum seated height of 0.043" (1.10mm) compared to 0.031" (0.80mm) for the TC-6.000MBE-T. This 0.012" (0.30mm) increase must be verified against clearance requirements in your specific application, including component stacking, enclosure height, and neighboring component placement.

Q: What is the power consumption difference?

A: The 7X-6.000MBE-T operates at a maximum supply current of 20mA, compared to 25mA for the TC-6.000MBE-T. This represents a 5mA (20%) reduction in power consumption.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: The 7X-6.000MBE-T is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. The TC-6.000MBE-T packaging format is not specified in the provided data. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the 7X-6.000MBE-T meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The 7X-6.000MBE-T is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The TC-6.000MBE-T regulatory status is not specified in the provided data.
