8 MHz Crystal Oscillator – Through-Hole Quartz Crystal for Microcontroller Timing
The 8 MHz Crystal Oscillator is a precision quartz component used to generate a stable clock signal for microcontrollers, timers, and digital circuits. It is commonly used in low-power applications, such as Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V), ATmega328P, and AVR microcontrollers, where lower frequencies are required for efficient performance.
 
Key Features:
Stable 8 MHz Frequency
Provides reliable timing for embedded systems and digital logic circuits.
Quartz Crystal Technology
Delivers high accuracy and low frequency drift over time and temperature.
Through-Hole Mounting
Easy to solder, breadboard-compatible, and ideal for prototyping.
Standard Load Capacitance
Typically requires two 22pF capacitors for proper oscillation with most microcontrollers.
Energy Efficient
Preferred in battery-operated devices due to lower power consumption at 8 MHz.
 
Applications:
Arduino Pro Mini (3.3V) and other 3.3V boards
AVR microcontrollers (e.g., ATmega328P, ATtiny series)
Timers and frequency generators
Digital clocks and counters
Communication and RF systems
Custom embedded projects and IoT devices
