MA-406 16.0000M-C: ROHS

Crystals come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials. Among them, MA-406 16.0000M-C has unique features and is a popular choice when it comes to precision oscillators. This type of crystal has ROHS compliant components, meaning that it complies with environmental regulations and requirements.

ROHS stands for Restriction of Hazardous Substances, and it is an environmental initiative which restricts the usage of hazardous substances in the composition of electronic components. Such hazardous substances have detrimental effects on the environment, therefore MA-406 16.0000M-C ensures a safe and green product. This crystal is especially useful in application fields such as medical, industrial control, and aerospace.

The main function of a crystal such as MA-406 16.0000M-C is to oscillate at a specific frequency and keep the correct phase of the signal. It consists of two pieces of quartz crystals and a metal container which trays them in place together. After the crystal is properly inserted in the device, an alternating current is passed through it, which enables it to oscillate and generate the required frequency.

The frequency of the crystal is determined by its physical characteristics, such as size, shape, and construction. MA-406 16.0000M-C is able to oscillate at 16MHz, which makes it ideal for more accurate and precise timing requirements. This crystal also has a low ESR, which means that it has low resistance and therefore it is more efficient in converting the current into an oscillation.

The MA-406 16.0000M-C also offers high frequency stability, which ensures that the frequency output of the crystal remains consistent for a long period of time. This is essential in application fields such as automotive and avionics, which require high levels of precision and accuracy. In addition, it also has good temperature stability, as it is able to work effectively in temperatures ranging from -40°C up to +85°C.

MA-406 16.0000M-C is a ROHS compliant crystal, offering a combination of features, reliability and environmental compliance. Its environmental compliance makes it a popular choice in application fields such as medical and avionics, while its performance and reliability makes it an ideal solution as a component of various oscillator circuits.
