Thanks for all the responses. A quick check before breakfast shows that mine would seem to be for 5 Volts since the power consumption at that input agrees with the data sheet referenced; the current peaks at 0.95 A warming up and 0.13 A warm. Reference V out is 4.8 V. Dan

Running it at 5V with a Ref out at 4.8V would seem too close. Maybe it's a 12V part? If nothing else this could be a very stable, ovenized 4.8V lab reference source.. Is anyone planning to monitor the aging/stability/noise of this reference? bye, Said In a message dated 12/23/2011

A search of the Vectron site for OCO500 (which is on my unit) brings up a datasheet which references that as a replaced unit. http://www.vectron.com/products/ocxo/c4550.pdf Shows there are 5, 12 and 3.3 volt options. I don't see where 4.8 volts is a reference output voltage, the closest is 5

This appears to be the datasheet - at least, it mentions OCO500 as one the previous part numbers for this device. http://www.vectron.com/products/ocxo/c4550.pdf I guess the best way to determine the operating voltage is by monitoring the reference output and trying each supply voltage in turn

Hi Dan A couple of Ebay auctions for the Vectron OCO500-18 63.897600MHz OCXO as a stand alone item, 190428236326 for example, link to a datasheet for the C4550A2-0275. Not sure how true or relevant that might be as a direct equivalent, but the basic C4550 datasheet does quote OCO500
