Product Overview
NEL HS-100 series crystal clock oscillator, 23.620 MHz, 5.0V TTL. Full-size rectangular metal can in a 14-pin DIP footprint - four active pins used. Outputs a TTL-level square wave at exactly 23.620 MHz when supplied with 5V DC. Frequency stability rated at ±100 ppm. Pinout: Pin 1 NC/Case Ground, Pin 7 Circuit Ground, Pin 8 Output Signal, Pin 14 +5V DC.

Applications
- Clock replacement in legacy networking hardware (routers, switches) specifying 23.620 MHz
- Reference timing in telecommunications boards and frequency synthesizers
- DSP boards and digital signal processing systems requiring this specific frequency
- Vintage computing and retro-computing repair where original oscillator has failed
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this compatible with 3.3V or lower-voltage systems?
No. The HS-100 requires a 5.0V DC supply and outputs a TTL-level signal. It is not directly compatible with 1.8V, 2.5V, or 3.3V logic without a level-conversion circuit.
Is this a full-size or half-size oscillator can?
Full-size. It uses a 14-pin DIP footprint. Do not confuse with the smaller half-size 8-pin DIP variant. Verify your PCB footprint before ordering.
Can this replace a passive 2-pin crystal at 23.620 MHz?
No. This is an active oscillator with its own internal circuitry. It cannot substitute for a passive crystal in a circuit designed for a 2-pin component.
What is the pinout?
Pin 1: NC or Case Ground. Pin 7: Circuit Ground. Pin 8: Output Signal. Pin 14: +5V DC. Verify against your PCB or the NEL HS-100 datasheet before installation.
23.620 MHz is a specific frequency - confirm it matches your PCB requirement exactly before ordering. Standard frequencies like 24.000 MHz are not electrically interchangeable with this part.
