[time-nuts] Surface Mount OCXO Questions

[John C. Westmoreland, P.E.]

Hello,

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations on surface mount OCXO's
vs. the traditional through hole.

I was also wondering on the board layout - if you found it necessary to
leave a thermal moat so to speak - and what worked best.  Maybe the OCXO
has an internal air barrier that maybe would make this unnecessary - not
sure.

Your input and experience appreciated.

Thanks,
John Westmoreland
