A 16MHz quartz crystal resonator delivering a stable reference clock for microcontrollers and digital timing. Supplied in common SMD and through-hole packages for easy integration.
Product Overview
This 16MHz quartz crystal is a passive timing element used with an MCU or clock generator’s internal oscillator to produce a precise reference frequency. It offers far better accuracy and stability than RC-based clocks, making it suitable for timing-critical embedded applications.
The 16MHz frequency is a common choice for 8/32-bit microcontroller clock trees and general digital logic. Newfly supplies verified crystals in industry-standard footprints to support drop-in placement and reliable second sourcing.

FAQ
Q: Is this an active oscillator or a passive crystal?
A: It is a passive quartz crystal resonator intended for use with the oscillator circuit inside your MCU or clock IC. Request an active oscillator module if you need a self-contained clock source.
Q: How do I choose the load capacitors?
A: Match the crystal’s rated load capacitance with external load capacitors per your design; confirm the value in the manufacturer datasheet.
Q: Do you offer small-quantity sourcing?
A: Yes. We support prototype volumes and production runs with MOQ flexibility.
