Quartz crystal

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004626

A piezoelectric material cut to a precise shape and size that vibrates at a stable, specific frequency when an electric field is applied. This property makes it suitable for use as a frequency reference in electronic oscillators and filters. Its resonant frequency is highly stable with temperature and time.
