Hi Group,
I was ordering parts the other day (well today) and I noticed that there're
alot of 4-pin crystal chips out there now... indeed, there seem to be more
of these than the normal 2-pin ones for SMT
But 2 of the pins are unused anyway...
I was reading up on it, and it seems that these 4-pin crystals are easier to
mount using machines, is this the only reason for their prevalence?
(Searching on Farnell for 32khz crystals)
Thanks
