Ahh, NCSU my old alma mater. I would recommend Digikey part number
X909-ND. That's a 20MHz ceramic resonator with built in capacitance.

They are quite rugged, with strong pins that fit easily into sockets.
You'll have to put it in sideways of course because of the grounding
pin. That's how we did our project for Sutton's class. I assume that's
what this is for? ;)

Incidentally, you are aware there is a part's shop on campus where you
can get most of this stuff for free right? Assuming it is for a class.
Reply to me via email if you would like details. (ChuckPL@comcast.net)

Hope this helps,

Subject: Recommended oscillator

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new at this.  I want to use a PIC16F84A using a 20MHz
oscillator.  The oscillator needs to be pretty accurate so I think I
will
need a crystal.  Do you have any recommendations what
kind/manufacturer/ect
that I should use.  Part numbers would help me out a lot.  Thanks.
