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.

Why is PETERMANN-TECHNIK the right partner for the quick selection of MHz SMD oscillating crystals?
PETERMANN-TECHNIK GmbH is the right partner if you want to find the right MHz SMD oscillating crystal for your application quickly, reliably and easily. Using our crystal configurator, developers and purchasers can define their desired crystal with the required parameters, make direct enquiries and request samples. This makes selecting the right SMD oscillating quartz crystal much easier, faster and safer.
The great advantage lies in the combination of digital product selection and personalised technical support. If you are already using a competitor's product, we can use our cross-reference function to find a suitable alternative product from PETERMANN-TECHNIK. If you are planning a new development, we will support you in selecting a technically sensible, cost-effective and long-term available MHz SMD oscillating quartz crystal.
PETERMANN-TECHNIK combines product search, sample request, technical advice and design-in expertise - quickly, reliably and effectively. So you won't just find any MHz crystal, but the right oscillating crystal for safe, durable and high-performance electronics development.
