MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS Application Field and Working Principle

Crystals, often known as piezoelectric crystals, work on the principle of the piezoelectric effect. This is where when you apply a mechanical force to one side of the crystal it causes an electrical charge to be built up on the other side of the crystal.

The MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS crystal is an ultra-miniature quartz crystal which is made using an AT-cut, SMD package. It has a high tolerance frequency stability, good overall performance and is RoHS compatible.

The MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS crystal is used mainly in precision electronics and communication equipment such as Mobile radio base stations, radio transceivers, GPS receivers, in aerospace and military applications and remote sorting systems.

Working Principle

The MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS crystal works on the principle of the piezoelectric effect, which is where when you apply a mechanical force to one side of the crystal it causes an electrical charge to be built up on the other side of the crystal.

The MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS crystal is a quartz crystal which is made using an AT-cut, SMD package. It is designed to work in the range of 0.1 to 10 MHz, with a high tolerance frequency stability, good overall performance and RoHS compatible.

The crystal itself consists of 3 parts; the quartz crystal or tuning fork, the capacitors which form the electrodes and the package which holds the quartz crystal and capacitors together.

When a voltage is applied to the crystal, an electric field is created. This electric field causes the quartz crystal to vibrate, producing a frequency corresponding with that of the applied voltage. This frequency is then converted into an electrical signal which can be used for various applications.

The MA-406 10.0000M-C3:ROHS crystal is designed to work in a wide range of applications due to it\'s high tolerance frequency stability, good overall performance and RoHS compatible.
