Quartz Crystal Advantages:
1, Good stability, small changes;
2, Good accuracy, high precision;
3, Low power consumption, small excitation power;
4, Fixed (non-adjustable).

Quartz Crystal Structure:

Quartz Crystal also known as Quartz Crystal Oscillator. That was accomplished by means of "Piezoelectric" effect.
That is "Supply Voltage", Kingtronics common voltages are 1.8V, 3.3V, 5.0V.
The semiconductor devices and resistance capacitance element worked together, could constitute a Quartz Crystal Oscillator. 

Quartz Crystal Applications:
1, QKT-HC49U (HC-49U) suitable for electronic products with broad spaces such as communications equipment, televisions, telephones, electronic toys;
2, QKT-HC49U/S (HC-49U/S) is suitable for all kinds of space height restrictions thin and small electronic equipment and products;
3, QKT-HC49 SMD (HC-49U/S SMD) prevail surface mount products, applicable to all types of ultra-thin, small computers and electronic devices;
4, 3*8 Tuning fork Cylindrical quartz crystal resonators suitable for space-constrained timing frequency stabilization of electronic products such as timers, electronic clock, calculator, etc.

Kt Kingtronics offers leaded quartz crystal HC49U, HC49S and SMD quartz crystal HC49SMD. The quartz crystal market, in general, requires hands on customer service. Quartz crystals are manufactured for frequencies from a few tens of kilohertz to tens of megahertz. More than two billion (2×109) crystals are manufactured annually. We also stock crystals in most popular package styles, frequencies and specifications for quick delivery.

49USMD crystals are low profile surface mount crystals with the same footprint as standard HC49 and HC49-4H crystals. 49USMD crystals are ideal for use in low cost, mass-market applications but are also able to be produced to close tolerances when required. With a broad frequency range from 3.200MHz to 90.000 MHz, the HC49SMD can serve as a low cost solution in virtually any application or market. The HC49SD is available in surface mount (SMD) packaging only.

Limited resources of natural quartz crystal suitable for direct electronic or optical use are available throughout the world. World dependence on these resources will continue to decline because of the increased acceptance of cultured quartz crystal as an alternative material; however, use of cultured quartz crystal will mean an increased dependence on lascas for growing cultured quartz.

Trends indicate that demand for quartz crystal devices should continue to grow, and consequently, quartz crystal production should remain strong well into the future. Growth of the consumer electronics market (for products such as personal computers, electronic games, and cellular telephones) will continue to drive global production. The growing global electronics market may require additional production capacity worldwide.

In the past several years, cultured quartz crystal was increasingly produced in the world, primarily in Asia. Electronic applications accounted for most industrial uses of quartz crystal; other uses included special optical applications.Virtually all quartz crystal used for electronics was cultured rather than natural crystal. Electronic-grade quartz crystal was essential for making filters, frequency controls, and timers in electronic circuits employed for a wide range of products, such as communications equipment, computers, and many consumer goods, such as electronic games and television receivers.

Quartz crystal is the best material for frequency-control oscillators and frequency filters in electronic circuits.

A quartz crystal resonator depends on the piezo-electric effect to work. This effect converts a mechanical stress in a crystal to a voltage and vice versa. In this way the piezo-electric effect converts the electrical impulses to mechanical stress which is subject to the very high Q mechanical resonances of the crystal, and this is in turn linked back into the electrical circuit.

The quartz crystal can vibrate in several different ways, and this means that it has several resonances, all on different frequencies. Fortunately the way in which the quartz crystal blank is cut from the original crystal itself can very significantly reduce this. In fact the angle of the faces relative to the original crystal axes determines many of its properties from the way it vibrates to its activity, Q, and its temperature co-efficient. There are three main ways in which a crystal can vibrate: longitudinal mode, low frequency face shear mode, and high frequency shear. A cut known as the AT cut used for most crystals used in traditional radio and electronics circuits uses the high frequency shear mode.

Vibrational modes of a quartz crystal resonator
(For the sake of clarity, the movements have been greatly exaggerated)

Quartz is used in the making of sandpaper, optics, glass, liquid filters, circuit boards, computer components, cement, mortar, and jewelry. Quartz crystals are also piezoelectric meaning when an electrical current passes through them they vibrate a small amount. Time can be measured from the vibrations of the quartz crystals so quartz crystals are often used in clocks.

Quartz crystals may either operate in a fundamental mode or in an overtone mode. Below frequencies of around 25 MHz crystals are normally designed to operate in their fundamental mode, whereas above this they will normally be designed for overtone operation, although with manufacturing techniques improving higher frequency crystals are becoming available. The mode is therefore an important element of the crystal specification.
