9C-12.288MEEJ-T Crystals, Oscillators, Resonators

Crystals have long been used for applications, from becoming components in jewelry to technical components in many instruments and machines. One type of crystal, such as 9C-12.288MEEJ-T, has unique characteristics and application fields thanks to its physical and electronic attributes.

9C-12.288MEEJ-T is a Trimmer Ceramic Resonator that displays a high frequency range of 12.288 MHz. In other words, its basic function is to function as a frequency control element, with small size and low power consumption. The two most popular uses of such a crystal are in the automotive and in the audio-video industry.

Automotive: In the automotive sector, its use is found in anti-theft systems, anti-theft alarms, infrared sensors, and tire pressure control systems. These systems require crystals that can generate stable and accurate frequencies, which 9C-12.288MEEJ-T can easily provide. Not to mention, the small size of this crystal fits perfectly in automotive components.

Audio-video industry: In audio-video technology, 9C-12.288MEEJ-T is used in audio filter circuits and as a clock generator in video signal processing. Analog filters require accurate and stable frequencies to filter the audio signal, for which 9C-12.288MEEJ-T provides the best choice. With its small size, the crystal can easily fit into the audio-video device, while providing strong output.

Working principle: Crystals interact with an electric field to create an oscillating energy with a particular frequency. This oscillating energy is called a resonance. The way the crystal generates these resonances are the same for all crystals, but the characteristics of the resonance differ from crystal to crystal. The 9C-12.288MEEJ-T crystal generates 12.288 Mhz of resonant frequency by creating an electrical field. This electrical field interacts with the surrounding medium to create the resonance that is used in the automotive and audio-video industries.

The 9C-12.288MEEJ-T crystal is an ideal choice for automotive and audio-video applications due to its small size and low power consumption. Its stable frequency is what gives it the precision needed to be used in these industries. While its working principle is the same as any other crystal, its application fields are the only thing that sets it apart from the rest.
