From low-frequency watch crystals to high-frequency clock oscillators, these components are vital for maintaining consistent timing signals in a variety of applications. Our collection includes popular frequencies such as the 32.768kHz crystal ideal for real-time clocks, as well as 16MHz and 20MHz oscillators suited for microprocessor clocking and other digital timing needs.

Low-Frequency 32.768kHz Crystals for Real-Time Clocks

The 32.768kHz crystal is a standard in timekeeping applications due to its precise frequency that divides evenly into one-second intervals. This makes it perfect for real-time clock modules, wristwatches, and low-power devices requiring accurate timekeeping over extended periods. Our 32.768kHz crystals ensure stable oscillation and low power consumption, making them ideal for battery-powered electronics.

High-Frequency 16MHz Crystals for Microcontrollers

For applications demanding faster clock speeds, the 16MHz crystal offers a reliable frequency source to drive microcontrollers and digital circuits. This crystal provides a stable reference frequency that supports accurate timing, data transfer, and communication protocols. Its compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers makes it a versatile choice for embedded system designs.

20MHz Clock Oscillators in 4-Pin DIP Packages

The 20MHz clock oscillator in a 4-pin DIP package combines a crystal and oscillator circuit into a single component, simplifying circuit design and reducing component count. These oscillators provide a clean, stable clock signal with minimal jitter, essential for high-speed digital applications. The 4-pin DIP form factor allows for easy integration into breadboards and through-hole PCBs.
