Working Principle

The principle of ECS-196.6-20-4X is based on the piezoelectric effect. When a mechanical force or an electric field is applied to certain types of crystals, it will cause the crystal to generate a measurable current. This current is called the piezoelectric effect. When the applied electrical field changes, it will cause the crystal to vibrate at its natural frequency. The frequency of the vibration is determined by the size and thickness of the crystal, which is why quartz crystals are used in frequency control circuits. The quartz crystal is connected to the oscillator circuit, and the output of the circuit is connected to the quartz crystal. When the electric field is applied to the quartz crystal, it will generate an electrical signal that is fed back to the oscillator circuit, causing it to oscillate.

In general, the frequency of the crystal oscillator is determined by the electrical and mechanical properties of the quartz crystal. The ECS-196.6-20-4X frequency crystal has very good frequency stability and low power consumption, making it an ideal choice for many applications.
