The M4T32-BR12SH6 from STMicroelectronics is a detachable lithium power source for ST's serial real-time clock and non-volatile TIMEKEEPER® surface-mount SOIC packages. This innovative SNAPHAT® top contains both the battery and crystal and is designed to be "snapped on" after the SOIC is surface mounted on the PCB. This unique design prevents the battery and crystal from being exposed to the high temperatures of the surface-mount process.

Key Features:

• Removable Battery: The lithium coin cell battery can be easily replaced, ensuring a long service life for the real-time clock module.
• Integrated Crystal: A 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal is included within the SNAPHAT, providing a stable time base for the clock functions.
• Compatibility: Designed to be used with ST's M4T28-BR12SH1 TIMEKEEPER® and other compatible surface-mount SOIC packages.
• Protection: The SNAPHAT design protects the battery and crystal from the adverse effects of the reflow soldering process, thus ensuring the integrity and reliability of the module.
• Longevity: The lithium battery provides a stable and reliable power supply, ensuring data and clock functionality are maintained for an extended period.
• Easy Assembly: The SNAPHAT top is designed for easy placement and removal without the need for additional tools or soldering, facilitating simple battery replacement and maintenance.

Applications:

The M4T32-BR12SH6 is suitable for a wide range of applications that require reliable timekeeping and data retention after power-off. These applications include:

• Utility meters
• POS terminals
• Consumer electronics
• Industrial and automotive electronics
• Medical devices
• Communication equipment

With its compact design and easy integration, the M4T32-BR12SH6 SNAPHAT® battery and crystal module is an excellent choice for adding real-time clock capabilities to your electronic projects, while ensuring the longevity and reliability that come with STMicroelectronics' products.
