SMT Crystals Shorten Production Cycle

Lower costs and shortened production cycles are the goals of the CX406, CX505 and CX506 surface-mount crystals. These SMT devices can be used in a wide range of applications where space is critical, including medical, instrumentation, robotics, consumer, computer, communications and wireless products. The crystals are pin and functionally compatible with the MA-406, MA-505 and MA-506 crystals, respectively, with a wide frequency range from 9.6 to 27 MHz. The components have a height of just 4 mm and are well suited for high-volume applications. Options include ±15 ppm/±30 ppm tolerance stability, -40°C to +85°C operating temperature, and pin configurations.
