Working Principle

ECX-H33CM-48.000 works on the principle of a quartz crystal. It contains a thin quartz crystal that is cut into an appropriate shape and then suspended between the electrodes of a water-resistant case. When positive and negative voltage is applied to the electrodes, the crystal vibrates and generates a frequency determined by the size, thickness, and width of the crystal. This frequency is then used as the output of the oscillator.

This oscillator is an ideal frequency source due to its low power consumption, low drift, and high stability. Additionally, the quartz crystal provides a high-quality signal output with excellent harmonic distortion characteristics. The output frequency is accurate to within ±20ppm over a wide temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.
