Description
The 3.579 MHz HC49/US SMD is a high-precision quartz crystal resonator specifically optimized for applications requiring stable, low-frequency timing. This frequency is a classic industry standard, historically significant as the color burst frequency for NTSC television systems, and it remains a vital clock source for microcontrollers, digital signal processing (DSP) tasks, and embedded control systems.
Packaged in the HC49/US low-profile surface-mount (SMD) form factor, this crystal provides an ideal balance between mechanical durability and space-saving PCB design. The HC49/US style is engineered to withstand thermal stress and mechanical vibration, ensuring consistent performance in both industrial and educational electronic projects. This pack of 5 units offers a cost-effective, high-quality solution for both bulk manufacturing and individual research and development.
