Crystal resonators are typically made of quartz crystal, which exhibits piezoelectric properties. When subjected to mechanical stress, quartz generates an electrical charge, and conversely, when subjected to an electrical field, it deforms. This property allows the crystal to vibrate at a specific resonant frequency when excited by an electrical signal. The XRCGA33M868F0L00R0 is designed for surface mount technology (SMT) for automated assembly on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Proper circuit design and impedance matching are crucial to ensure optimal performance of the crystal resonator.
