MC-146 32.7680KA-E0:PURE SN

Crystals have been used in electronic applications since their first discovery. They are formed when electrical energy causes air molecules to vibrate at a specific frequency. This vibration produces a distinct electric charge, which can then be used to power any number of electronic components. The most commonly used crystals are quartz and sapphire. Quartz has a relatively low cost and a high frequency of stability, making it ideal for many applications. Sapphire is a more expensive, yet highly stable and durable option. Both types of crystals can be used in a variety of electronic applications, such as radio and television gadgets, industrial equipment, as well as precision timing and control.

MC-146 32.7680KA-E0:PURE SN is typically used as an oscillator in basic digital timing and control applications in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and telecommunications. It works by converting electrical energy into mechanical vibrations when excited by an alternating current. The basic principle is that when a quartz crystal is energized, it vibrates at a very high frequency, producing a steady and predictable pattern of electrical signals. These signals are then amplified and used to generate an output signal at the desired frequency. The frequency of the output signal can be adjusted by changing the value of the loading capacitance. The device also includes a reference oscillator, which allows the output frequency to be adjusted to the desired rate.
