The ECS-270-18-4X-F is optimized for electronic timekeeping devices, and provides a reliable, low noise signal source.

Application Field

The ECS-270-18-4X-F is used mainly in various timekeeping applications, including quartz watches and clocks, frequency counters, stopwatches, timers, and control systems. It is also used in instrumentation equipment and precision oscillator circuits.

Working Principle

At the basic level, the working principle of the ECS-270-18-4X-F is based on the fact that an AC electric field, when passed through a quartz crystal, will cause it to vibrate at a certain frequency. This frequency is determined by the dimensions of the crystal and its environment. A certain frequency is generated when an electrical current passes through electrodes mounted on the crystal, causing the electrodes to be electrically polarized and generating a strain. The strain causes a frequency shift in the crystal\'s vibration, and this shift can be used to accurately measure the frequency of the electric field passing through the crystal.

The ECS-270-18-4X-F is able to generate a very stable frequency because it is hermetically sealed in an air tight package. The package ensures absence of physical and chemical interference, thereby enhancing stability and reducing the probability of frequency drift. Additionally, the quartz crystal resonator is precision designed to work in AT cut frequency range of 10~200kHz. This type of crystal is best suited for timekeeping applications due to its low cost and wide frequency range.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the ECS-270-18-4X-F is a reliable and cost-effective AT cut quartz crystal resonator device best suited for timekeeping applications. Its hermetic sealing protects it from the outside environment, providing a stable and low noise signal source.
