416F40625CDT

The 416F40625CDT is a crystal that consists of two electrodes with a thin slab of quartz between them. This type of crystal, also known as a piezoelectric crystal, is commonly utilized for timing and frequency control in radio applications. The 416F40625CDT is a high frequency ratio crystal, also known as a high-Q crystal, which provides excellent long-term frequency stability and low temperature drifts.

Application Field

Crystals are widely used in electronics, where they provide an efficient means of timing and frequency control. One of the most common applications is in radio reception, where crystals are used to control the frequency of oscillators and generate the L/C tuning circuits for AM and FM radio reception. Crystals are also used in computers for clock signals, where highly accurate synchronization of the processor and other components is critical.

In addition to radio and computer applications, crystals can also be used in other electronics such as mobile phones, satellite navigation systems, digital cameras, and other types of communications systems. In these situations, it is essential that the crystal be able to provide an accurate frequency reference to prevent data loss or communication errors.

Working Principle

The functioning of a crystal is based on the piezoelectric effect, a phenomenon in which certain crystals, including quartz, generate electrical charge when subjected to physical stress. When a voltage is applied to a crystal, it produces a small amount of mechanical strain, which causes the crystal to vibrate at a specific frequency. The frequency at which the crystal vibrates depends on its size, shape and material composition.

The 416F40625CDT crystal is designed for use in high-frequency radio applications, where an accurate and stable frequency reference is required. The crystal is carefully cut and ground from quartz, and is designed to resonate at a frequency of 40.625 MHz when an external voltage is applied. The crystal offers excellent long-term stability and low temperature drifts, making it ideal for use in critical radio applications.

In addition to providing excellent frequency stability and accuracy, the 416F40625CDT crystal also offers excellent tolerance to radiation and vibration, making it suitable for use in mission-critical applications. The crystal is ideal for long-term use in space and aerospace applications, where stable frequency control and high reliability are essential.
