32 Quartz Crystal Unit Manufacturers in 2024 ? Good!
« on: March 06, 2024, 2232 UTC »
https://us.metoree.com/categories/7177/   I was asking folks, a couple of years back, about the time that Jan Crystal and ICM went bye-bye, about domestic crystal companies. And, by accident I came across the preceding link. Good.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.

All of the companies on that list are large manufacturers located overseas.  No doubt Kyocera or Abracon can make you an SMD crystal, but you'll have to order 100,000 units.

Domestically, you can try Bomar.  If its a common part, they can job shop it overseas and have them made in small quantities.  In this day though, better to look at other options than crystals.
