It seems like the 65256 is the better one to pick then -- newest
datecode (at least in the photos), and I can actually find pinouts for it.
The 34310 C1s have apparently been scalped from old Thunderbolts and
carry 2002 datecodes.
The 49423 on sale is apparently 2005-dated, but I can't find a pinout.
I also spotted a Micro Crystal 5V OCXO (probably single-oven) which
looked like it might make a nice "unofficial" addition to my Racal 1992
frequency counter (currently TCXO-equipped). Phase noise spec seems a
bit poor, but the frequency tolerance looks OK (and significantly better
than the TCXO, I bet).
Cheers,
Phil.

Hi
I have not seen a Trimble OCXO with an internal trimmer for frequency set. They
probably do exist, but they are not common among the newer (post 2001) parts.

some older models have higher phase noise, the very new ones are very good,
sometimes they aged out the control voltage range, needing higher control
voltage to pull to 10,0000000 MHz, some of them can not be pulled to the
correct frequency any more without mechanical readjustment. They have inside a
trim cap to set the tuning range, which is not accessible without opening the
case.The case is hermetically closed.
Some companies for very high performance units filling the hermetically closed
case with nitrogen, also reducing the pressure of the filing gas bellow the
atmospheric level.

Hi there,
I've noticed a couple of Trimble OCXOs listed on "that auction site".
Specifically, model numbers:
- 65256
- 49423
- 34310 C1
They all seem to be 12V, 10MHz, sine-wave units. Does anyone know if there are
any other differences between them? Do any specific ones perform better than
the others?
There's a bit of a price difference between them, but data on Trimble OCXOs
seems to be quite sparse (a bit like data on their GPS modules, really).
Thanks,
I bought a replacement OCXO for a Thunderbolt whose OCXO had died.
The pinouts are different.
The housing is much taller and won't fit in the Thunderbolt enclosure.
The polarity of the VCO pin is different.
That said, I was able to get the kluge to work by changing the polarity of the
loop gain.
