Hi All, I have some HC49 crystals that I'd like to convert to surface mount. The difference is a tiny plastic insulator/spacer that is mounted on the base. There is a slot on each piece so that the lead can be bent over and trimmed short. It can then be mounted to a surface mount PCB etch. There is a picture at: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail?name=300-6101-2-ND I looked through Digikey's catalog, they have the entire crystal, but do not sell the special insulators separately. Id like to get a bunch of these if possible, the standard base HC49 crystal is widely available surplus, but the /US base is difficult to find on the surplus market. Of course, if anyone has 20 MHz surface mount crystals in the HC49/US base, I'd be glad to buy some of their units instead.
