ECS-143-20-4

Crystals, otherwise referred to as piezoelectronic devices, are a form of electrical components incorporating quartz crystals or other piezo electric materials. Applications concerning time keeping, high frequency generation, and sensing are the primary purposes crystals are employed. Crystals are the most precise components of electric engineering and can be used in a most reliable and accurate way. Perhaps one of the greatest known applications is that of the ECS-143-20-4 crystal, of which its comprehensive characteristics are specified below.

Application field

ECS-143-20-4 is a miniature, surface mountable quartz crystal with a frequency range from 3.2 MHz to 40 MHz. Designed with ceramic package and metal lid construction, the ECS-143-20-4 crystal is ideally suitable for applications in networking, telecom, mobile phone and other communication devices. It can also be used in the areas of microprocessor-controlled electronic products, office information equipment and electronic watches. Due to its small size, low power consumption and accurate frequency output, ECS-143-20-4 crystal is an ideal solution for space-critical designs.

Working Principle

The ECS-143-20-4 crystal works on the principle of quartz-crystal tuning. Quartz crystal has the peculiarity of mechanical resonance When a quartz crystal is suitably cut, it vibrates with a particular frequency when an external electric potential is applied. This phenomenon is known as piezoelectric effect. The frequency at which the crystal vibrates depends upon its dimension. The frequency delivered by the crystal when excited by electric signal is called the resonant frequency. The frequency of the Quartz-Crystal oscillator is determined by the thickness of the quartz crystal, its length and its width.

The ECS-143-20-4 crystal has a frequency range of 3.2 MHz to 40 MHz, with a standard frequency tolerance of ±5 ppm. In addition, the temperature tolerance of this crystal is also ±20 ppm. The operating temperature range is –20°C to + 70°C, and storage temperature is –40°C to + 85°C. It is designed to provide a consistent frequency output, even in extreme atmospheric and environmental conditions.

ECS-143-20-4 crystal is conveniently packaged in an advanced, small package with a 12.5±0.2mm in diameter and includes an advanced ceramic package and a stamped metal lid to ensure excellent radio-frequency shielding and a wide temperature range operation. The ECS-143-20-4 crystal also has a small footprint and is flexible for various circuit design needs.
