Product Description (Detailed):

The 16 MHz crystal oscillator is a highly stable and low-jitter quartz crystal designed to provide a fixed frequency clock signal for digital circuits. This frequency is commonly used in Arduino UNO/Nano, AVR microcontrollers, real-time clocks, and high-speed communication systems.

This crystal is housed in the industry-standard HC-49S through-hole package, making it perfect for prototyping, repair work, and embedded designs. It is paired with two 22pF capacitors in most applications to form a stable oscillating circuit.

If you're building or repairing an Arduino board or designing a precision digital timer, this is a must-have timing component.

How to Use:

Typical Arduino Crystal Setup:

1. Connect one pin of the crystal to XTAL1 (e.g., pin 9) of the microcontroller.

2. Connect the other pin to XTAL2 (e.g., pin 10).

3. Place 22pF ceramic capacitors from each pin to GND.

4. Connect power (Vcc, GND) and upload the program as usual.

Standard setup for ATmega328P microcontrollers (used in Arduino UNO/Nano).

Applications:

• Arduino UNO, Nano, Pro Mini boards

• Clock generation for AVR, STM32, PIC microcontrollers
