Structure Tubular crystal units are hermetically sealed using glass (see Figures 1 and 2). Case Case Hermetic Glass Hermetic Glass Lead Lead Figure 1 Figure 2 1.1.2 Unbending the lead (1) DO NOT pull the lead excessively if unbending a lead or removing a crystal unit. The excessive force may crack the glass and reduce the degree of vacuum. This may eventually result in deterioration of the characteristics and may also break the crystal chip see Figure 3). (2) Unbend the lead by pressing on the bent part from both the upper and lower sides with fixing the bottom of lead tightly. (see Figure 4). Tweezers or needle-nose pliers Breakage Pull out Case Lead Figure 3 Figure 4 Page 1 of 2 7/7/2011 1.1.3 Bending the lead (1) Bend the lead so that the lead will remain straight for more than 0.5mm from the case when soldering a crystal unit after bending. If not, the glass may be cracked (see Figures 5 and 6). (2) Always leave a length greater than the case diameter when bending a lead after soldering (see Figure 7). D 0.5mm 0.5mm L>D Solder Printed circuit board Solder L Solder Figure 5 Figure 6 Soldering directly to the case will reduce the degree of vacuum and may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal chip. Figure 7 Make the length from the case to the printed circuit board (L) longer than the case diameter (D) so that the lead wire will not be pulled in case the crystal unit falls over. 1.1.4 Soldering When mounting or removing a quartz crystal unit, heat the lead part at 300C or lower for 5 seconds or less (in the case of a lead-type conventional product). A long period of time of heating may result in deterioration of the characteristics and may break the crystal unit. Be sure to keep the case at or below 150C. Page 2 of 2 7/7/2011
