The quickest way is via the Top Sellers section of PETERMANN-TECHNIK, which offers immediate orientation when selecting a suitable SMD oscillating quartz crystal. First select the suitable quartz housing for your desired frequency and then open the appropriate configurator directly. In the configurator, the relevant parameters such as frequency, frequency tolerance at +25°C, operating temperature range, temperature stability and load capacity can be easily specified. This eliminates the tedious task of compiling an ordering code from the data sheet. Your inquiry or sample request can then be sent directly to PETERMANN-TECHNIK with just a few clicks.

When selecting a quartz crystal, several technical features must be clearly defined to ensure that the component works reliably in the circuit. First of all, the appropriate housing must be determined depending on the desired frequency and available installation space. Then the frequency tolerance at +25°C, the operating temperature range, the temperature stability and the load capacity must be specified. These parameters directly influence the accuracy and behavior of the quartz in the application. PETERMANN-TECHNIK simplifies this selection process with the configurator and the structured top sellers area.

Several common SMD oscillating quartz designs are available in the top sellers area for different requirements. These include 1.6x1.2 mm, 2.0x1.6 mm, 2.5x2.0 mm, 3.2x2.5 mm and 5.0x3.2 mm ceramic housings with 4 solder pads. Depending on the series, these crystals cover frequency ranges from 8 MHz to 285 MHz or up to 133 MHz. In addition, 32.768 kHz oscillating crystals are available in the 1.6x1.0 mm and 3.2x1.5 mm designs with 2 solder pads. A separate configurator is available for each series mentioned, which can be used to make the specification directly.

All SMD resonant crystals listed in the Top Sellers section feature PETERMANN-TECHNIK's LRT technology, i.e. Low ESR Resonator Technology. This technology is designed for a very fast and very reliable transient response in the circuit. Especially in demanding electronic applications, reliable starting behavior of the quartz is an important factor for the function of the overall system. Low ESR values can help to make the oscillator circuit more robust. PETERMANN-TECHNIK therefore specifically refers to this technology as a practical added value when selecting crystals.

According to the page content, the 3.2x2.5 mm crystal of the SMD03025/4 series is the cheapest SMD oscillating crystal in the range. It is basically suitable for all applications in which an inexpensive SMD oscillating crystal is required. In the frequency range from 8 to 12 MHz, however, attention should be paid to the resistors of this type. In this low-frequency range, the larger 5.0x3.2 mm SMD0503/4 series crystal with lower resistances may be the more sensible solution for the transient response. PETERMANN-TECHNIK thus demonstrates that not only the price, but also the behavior in the circuit should be taken into account when making a selection.

PETERMANN-TECHNIK combines almost 27 years of expertise with a particularly simple selection process for oscillating crystals. The top sellers section immediately helps to identify favorable and strategically long-term available SMD oscillating crystals. Using the directly linked configurators, technical requirements can be specified quickly and queried immediately without having to compile cumbersome ordering codes from data sheets. In addition, components are available for long-term delivery, current delivery times of 6 to 8 weeks and the LRT technology for fast and reliable oscillation. For industrial customers, PETERMANN-TECHNIK is therefore an efficient and reliable point of contact for finding the right quartz crystal quickly and easily.
