Adafruit 12 MHz Crystal + 20pF capacitors

This 12.000 MHz timing crystal, housed in a compact HC49/US 'short style' standard package, ensures precise timekeeping for any component requiring an external crystal. Breadboard friendly and easy to use, it includes two 20pF capacitors for seamless integration into your designs.

With a tolerance of 30PPM and stability of 50PPM, it is ideal for high precision needs such as USB timing, long-term time-keeping, and RF/PLL/VCO driving. Simply connect the crystal’s pins to XTAL-in and XTAL-out in your circuit, with each pin connected to ground via a capacitor.

Check your microcontroller's datasheet to determine the need for additional components like a 1 Megaohm resistor. This ensures your timing remains spot-on in any application, maintaining efficiency and reliability in your projects.
