MA-505 60.0000M-C0

Crystals are substances composed of atoms which are placed in repeating three-dimensional patterns—arrangements known as crystal lattices. Generally, crystals have high melting points and electrical conductivity, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. The MA-505 60.0000M-C0 is a type of crystal designed for frequency control, timing, filtering and oscillation applications.

The MA-505 60.0000M-C0 is a quartz crystal, also known as a piezoelectric crystal, which can convert an electrical signal into a mechanical vibration, and vice versa. It is composed of a quartz plate surrounded by two electrode plates, forming a sandwich-like structure. As one of the electrodes forms the top layer, the entire structure is covered with a protective coating to prevent corrosion. The frequency of the oscillations propagated by the quartz crystal is determined by its size, shape and temperature.

As the MA-505 60.0000M-C0 is a quartz crystal, its main application is frequency control, timing, filtering and oscillation applications. In frequency control applications, the quartz crystal is used with an oscillator, such as a Colpitts oscillator, to generate and hold a constant, precise frequency. In timing applications, the quartz crystal is used to create precision timing signals in applications such as clocks, watches and microcontrollers. In filtering applications, the quartz crystal is used to reject specific frequencies, allowing a signal with a specific frequency to pass through. In oscillation applications, the crystal is used to generate an oscillation at a fixed frequency.

The working principle of the quartz crystal is based on its piezoelectricity—the ability of the crystal to produce a voltage when it is subjected to mechanical stresses. When an AC voltage is applied to the crystal, it vibrates at its resonant frequency and generates an AC output voltage. This output voltage is then used to generate or receive a signal.

The MA-505 60.0000M-C0 is a quartz crystal used in frequency control, timing, filtering and oscillation applications. Its working principle is based on its piezoelectricity and its ability to generate an AC output voltage when subjected to an AC voltage. Its size, shape and temperature determine its resonant frequency, while its protective coating ensures its durability in real world applications.
