VKB61B2-024.576M Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the VKB61B2-024.576M?
  Connor-Winfield recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and the use of vias to connect the ground plane to the device's ground pins. Additionally, keep the signal traces as short as possible and away from noise sources.
• How do I ensure the VKB61B2-024.576M is properly soldered and avoids thermal damage?
  Use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and ensure the soldering time is less than 3 seconds per pin. Avoid applying excessive force or pressure, which can cause thermal damage to the device.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the VKB61B2-024.576M?
  The VKB61B2-024.576M can operate safely within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. However, it's recommended to derate the device's performance at temperatures above 70°C to ensure reliability.
• Can I use the VKB61B2-024.576M in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the VKB61B2-024.576M is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration. However, it's recommended to follow proper mounting and soldering techniques to ensure the device remains securely attached to the PCB.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the VKB61B2-024.576M, such as incorrect frequency output or failure to oscillate?
  Check the power supply voltage, ensure proper PCB layout and soldering, and verify the correct configuration of the device's control pins. If issues persist, consult the Connor-Winfield application note or contact their technical support team for assistance.
