Working Principle

The working principle of the 416F260X2CTT is based on quartz crystal resonance. Quartz is a piezoelectric material, which means that when a voltage is applied to the crystal, it contracts slightly. When the voltage is removed, it expands. This contraction and expansion causes the periodic vibration known as resonance.

The 416F260X2CTT crystal is designed so that when a voltage (or AC signal) is applied to it, the frequency of the applied signal is equal to the resonance frequency of the crystal. This makes the crystal oscillate. The oscillations are maintained due to the electric field generated by the crystal. This electric field allows electrical energy to be converted into mechanical energy, which results in the vibrations at the resonant frequency.
