Description
The HC-49SMD 7.3728 MHz is a high-reliability, surface-mount quartz crystal unit designed for precise frequency control in digital circuits. Operating at 7.3728 MHz, this frequency is a standard in the industry specifically chosen for its capability to be divided into exact, error-free baud rates (such as 9600, 19200, 38400, or 115200 bps) for UART serial communications, making it indispensable for microcontroller-based embedded systems.
Encased in the classic, resistance-welded HC-49SMD metal package, this crystal offers superior vibration resistance and long-term frequency stability. With a load capacitance of 20 pF and a frequency tolerance of ±20 ppm, it provides consistent performance for sensitive timing applications. This package includes two units, offering an ideal solution for dual-clock projects or small-batch manufacturing.
