Crystals

MIDIbox FM
1

Hi all,

I am just putting together the parts for my FM and I have run into a problem. The case of the crystal in TKz picture seems to be HC49-U3H, the problem is my supplier only has the 14,318000 MHz crystal in a HC49-U case. This is the one TK seems to use on his core module pictures.

Does anybody know, will it  cause a problem if i stretch the crystals 2  legs a little and fit it to the PCB’s 2 connections?

There seem to be only 2 legs connected on the schematic

Thanks in advance for any help

This is no crystal but an oscillator and there are 3 legs connected (GND, +5V and the Output).

A normal 2-leg crystal will not work for this purpose!
