You can find more information on this in our TOP SELLER section or under the heading SEARCH FOR REFERENCE DESIGN (IC) FOR SMD QUARCIES.
We recommend the following SMD crystals for new developments:
Frequency range 6 - 8 MHz = SMD0507/4 - 7.0x5.0mm/4pad SMD crystal in ceramic housing
Frequency range 8 - 12 MHz = SMD0503/4 - 5.0x3.2mm/4pad SMD crystal in ceramic housing
Frequency range > 12 MHz = SMD03025/4 - 3.2x2.5mm/4pad SMD crystal in ceramic housing
Frequency range > 16 MHz = SMD02016/4*- 2.0x1.6mm/4pad SMD crystal in ceramic housing
Frequency range > 24 MHz = SMD01612/4*- 1.6x1.2mm/4pad SMD crystal in ceramic housing
*SMD crystals in 2.0x1.6mm/4pad housing or 1.6x1.2mm/4pad housing are mainly used on miniaturised boards (e.g. mini sub-boards, or mini boards for radio applications, etc.). If you do not necessarily need a miniaturised SMD crystal in one of these two small ceramic housings, you should simply use the cheapest SMD crystal from the SMD03025/4 series.
Please note that we only recommend SMD crystals that can be sourced from us over a very long period of time, more than 10 years, with consistently excellent performance and quality.
