FA-238 16.0000MB-C

Crystals

Crystals are an important branch of modern electronics, having a wide variety of applications in the fields of computers, telecommunications, and precision instruments. The FA-238 16.0000MB-C crystal is an example of such a device, used in many applications today due to its high precision and dependability.

In short, crystals are electronic components that produce a regular electronic frequency when exposed to an alternating current (AC). This frequency can range from only a few hundreds of cycles per second up to several millions. FA-238 16.0000MB-C crystals are particularly useful for controlling the frequency of digital circuits by providing the basis for the clock signal. As its name implies, the device has a tolerance of ±200 parts per million, making it ideally suited for applications that require both accuracy and precision.

The FA-238 16.0000MB-C crystal is composed of two metal plates (the positive and negative electrodes) that define the frequency of the electrical circuit. The electrodes are insulated by a glass tube filled with a liquid, usually paraffin or lead-free soldering alloy, or a crystalline solid. This material serves to maintain the two plates at an exact distance from each other. As an electrical current passes through the plates, the molecules in the medium vibrate and create electrical dynamic fields. These fields affect the electrons in the crystals and create a mechanical oscillation that sustains the current. The frequency at which this oscillation occurs is the one that is used by the clock signal.

The crystal has several additional characteristics such as aging and temperature stability that need to be taken into account when working with the FA-238 16.0000MB-C crystal. With regards to aging, the crystal’s frequency may drift as it ages. This effect is known as “aging loss” and should be factored into the calculated target frequency. Temperature stability is also an important factor since the frequency of the crystal is affected by temperature changes. This can usually be dealt with in a compensatory manner such as by adding insulation to the crystal assembly.

FA-238 16.0000MB-C crystals are used in a variety of applications ranging from medical equipment to electronic watches and musical instruments. They can also be used to generate a clock signal for digital circuits, allowing them to function accurately and reliably. The device’s tolerance of ±200 parts per million, coupled with its ability to maintain a consistent frequency over time, makes it a great choice for anyone looking for a dependable, accurate crystal.
