HC-49US 12.288 MHz Crystal Oscillator | 20pF | 20PPM | DIP Through-Hole

Description

The HC-49US 12.288 MHz Crystal is a high-precision quartz resonator, widely favored in professional audio and high-performance communication systems. The 12.288 MHz frequency is an industry-standard clock reference, often utilized as a master clock because it is a direct multiple of standard audio sample rates (such as 48 kHz and 96 kHz), which is critical for minimizing jitter in Digital-to-Analog (DAC) and Analog-to-Digital (ADC) conversion.

Housed in the robust and globally compatible HC-49US 2-pin through-hole package, this crystal offers exceptional mechanical stability and ease of integration. Its resistance-welded, hermetically sealed construction ensures long-term protection against environmental factors like moisture and thermal stress. With a tight 20 PPM frequency tolerance and a 20 pF load capacitance, it provides the clean, reliable clocking required for high-fidelity signal processing and precision digital logic.
