The component shown is a Quartz Crystal Resonator, typically housed in a small metal can with two leads.
Function: It is a passive electronic component that, when connected in an appropriate oscillator circuit (like a Pierce oscillator), generates an electrical signal at a highly precise and stable frequency. This process is based on the piezoelectric effect of the quartz crystal wafer inside.
Applications: It acts as the stable clock or timing reference for microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital circuits, watches, radio transmitters, and any electronic system that requires accurate and reliable timing.
Key Feature: Its main advantage is its extremely high Quality Factor ($Q$) and frequency stability compared to traditional LC (inductor-capacitor) oscillator circuits.
