CA-301 50.0700M-K: PB FREE

Crystals are widely used in a variety of electronic devices, due to their stability and excellent electrical characteristics. Among them, Quartz Crystal Resonators are quite popular, as they are typically inexpensive, robust, and easily available in a range of sizes and frequencies. One such type of quartz crystal resonator is the CA-301 50.0700M-K, which is a PB FREE type crystal specifically designed for use in high frequency applications. In order to understand the working principle behind the CA-301 50.0700M-K, it is important to familiarize oneself with the structure of quartz crystals. The crystal structure of quartz is an atomic lattice, similar to a salt crystal, that contains a microscopic piezoelectric material known as piezoelectric platelets embedded within the crystal lattice. These platelets are the fundamental component responsible for the quartz crystal’s resonant frequency. The CA-301 50.0700M-K provides a PB FREE (No Lead) version of the quartz crystal resonator. It is a surface mount type crystal specifically designed for use in high frequency applications. It features a built-in drive circuit which is designed to automatically adjust the oscillation frequency of the resonator in response to external stimulated energy from an amplifier or other signal source. The CA-301 50.0700M-K crystal also has an built-in temperature compensation circuit, which helps maintain consistent oscillation frequency across a wide range of temperatures. This is especially useful in high temperature application, such as in aerospace, automotive and other high temperature medical applications. The temperature compensation feature also helps promote excellent accuracy and stability across a wide range of different temperatures. The application fields of the CA-301 50.0700M-K crystal are mainly centred around high frequency applications involving temperature-sensitive systems. These applications include, but are not limited to, RF communication systems, satellite navigation, radars, medical imaging, and other high temperature applications. Since the crystal is PB FREE, it is also suitable for use in applications where environmental or health safety is of critical importance. In conclusion, the CA-301 50.0700M-K crystal combines the excellent resonant frequency characteristics of quartz with an integrated drive circuit and temperature compensation features. These features make it ideal for use in high frequency applications where accuracy, precision, and stability are of paramount importance.
