The sub miniaturisation of the ubiquitous 32.768 kHz ‘watch crystal’ continues with package sizes reduced to (2.0 x 1.2) mm and very low profile. Available from TFC, smd tuning fork crystals are a low cost crystal with an ultra-low profile of 0.9mm and three standard packages of 2.0 x 1.2mm, 3.2 x 1.5mm and 4.2 x 1.5mm.

Manufactured within a vacuum sealed ceramic enclosure, the lightweight, miniature, ultra-thin crystals are suitable for basic timing applications and perfectly suited for portable and mobile telecommunication devices. These crystals are available with short delivery and supplied on tape and reel with 3000 pieces per reel, excellent tolerance and extended temperature range for industrial and military applications.
