Quartz Crystal Units

Propertiest of Quartz Crystal
When pressure is applied to a quartz crystal in the crystal axis (X axis), an electric charge arises on the surface of the crystal, Conversely, if voltage is applied to a quartz crystal plate, the crystal will deform internally. These phenomena are known as the piezoelectric and inverse piezoelectric effects.

Quartz Crystal Units
Electrodes are attached to a crystal blank cut at a precise angle from a high purity synthetic quartz crystal and the unit is enclosed in a sealed package.
When connected to an inverting amplifier, the unit will produce a highly stable resonance frequency on an oscillation circuit. This frequency can be used as an electrical signal in a variety of electronic and electrical equipment.
