Crystals, including quartz crystal oscillators, have a wide range of applications, from radio receiver frequency control to clock circuitry, which are useful for their precise and reliable timing functions. One particular specimen of interest is the ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR oscillator crystal. This crystal oscillator is popular in a variety of applications, ranging from low cost timing circuits to applications such as temperature compensation of crystal oscillators. The ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR is a low-cost ceramic packaged crystal oscillator. It has a frequency of 102.4 MHz, an 18-pin surface mount package, and a 7SX-TR trim control option. The trim control allows the user to make small adjustments of the frequency without having to replace the component. The component is commonly used in automotive applications and other precision timing circuits. The ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR works by operating at a specific resonant frequency. A quartz crystal forms the heart of the oscillator, and it vibrates in sympathetic resonance when an electrical signal is applied. The crystal is then able to generate a signal with a very precise frequency. The frequency of an oscillator is determined by its load capacitance, and this is typically set using four capacitors or a 5-pin trim control. The ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR uses the latter option, with the 7SX-TR trim control allowing the input frequency to be adjusted within the 30-75 ppm range. This helps the user to make small adjustments to the output frequency without the need to replace the component. The ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR is also capable of operating at temperatures ranging from -55°C up to +125°C, making it suitable for a wide variety of applications in harsh operating environments. Its low frequency and tight temperature tolerances make it especially suitable for temperature compensation of crystal oscillators, allowing for precise timing signals in temperature-sensitive applications. The ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR can also be used in other precision timing circuits, such as those requiring a high degree of accuracy or stability in order to ensure proper operation. The component’s low cost and high level of functionality make it a popular choice for use in automotive applications, industrial control systems, and consumer electronics. In conclusion, the ECS-102.4-18-7SX-TR is a versatile and cost-effective quartz crystal oscillator, suitable for a range of applications, including automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics. Its low temperature operating range and trim control options allow the crystal to be adjusted for accurate timing signals in a wide range of temperature-sensitive applications.
