markings on XTALs what do they mean?

Started by Johann Klammer August 27, 2021
I have a defective LCD monitor here.
It has two xtals inside. HC49 thru hole.
they have something printed on the can.

Number one:
TXC G 
14.3EF19

Number two:
TXC G 
20ARG95

It does not match any part numbers 
on the TXC website.

I would like to know f, tolerance and load cap.
Thank you.

Could be 14.3 MHz do you have a shortwave radio? listen for carrier there? A frequency counter helps too!
>Number two: >TXC G >20ARG95
20 MHz?

Yea, that is more difficult,

** Why ????? Likely they are nothing special at all. Just regular clock frequency X-tals, ..... Phil

Yes, 14.3 MHz is something to do with NTSC, it is (or was) a very common crystal. -- Cheers Clive

** Very close to 4 times the color burst frequency. 3.579545 MHz For a long time the *cheapest* crystal you could buy in stores. Got one in my home brew frequency counter. ..... Phil

Does that have more digits after the three, coz I can not seem to find exactly 14.3M at any distributor.

You should associate the parts with their application. These days, that generally means the ASIC they're tied to. Look up the chip numbers and typical app notes. RL

PS I have no idea what you are trying to do, but the probability of such crystals being defective in that application is close to zero. Better tell us what you are doing, and what test equipment and experience you have, multimeter, scope, etc.
