I'm putting together the boards for Nigels tutorials.
I bought some materials for the assembly of the boards and needless to say, 20 MHz oscillators were part of the order.
Main board No2 has a 20 MHz crystal. Two connections only are indicated on the circuit diagram.
The crystals I bought are manufactured by Fox and are type FS02 B 20.000 511. They have have four connections and are contained in a rectangular plastic enclosure. The crystal in the photo in Nigel's Tutorial is different.
I have looked at the data available to me and can't arrive at a decision as to how the crystal should be connected or if indeed it is unsuitable and another type of component should be used.
It is possible to use it by connecting it's power (pin4) to 5v and ground (pin2) then the output (pin3) goes to your PIC OSC1/CLKIN pin which is pin16 on a pic16f628.
Do not connect anything to the PIC OSC2/CLKOUT pin. (unless you want to use the 5Mhz clock output for something)
Also, as shown in the FSO-2 datasheet, it needs a 0.01uF bypass capacitor near the oscillator power pins and do not connect it's pin 1 (E/D) to anything.
Rapid Electronics are very good, although you have to spend £35 i think to avoid carriage..
I don't normally use xtals myself, I prefer to use the internal oscillator, but if your following a tutorial, your probably better off doing it as they say

I've been scavenging and found a crystal made by AEL. Type X003L 22.118400M. Haven't fount the data on it yet. How would it compare to the one in the circuit diagram?

Hi All
I was coerced into going on a shopping trip with my good wife. While she shopped, I went to Maplins and for a very small outlay(€1.19+tax each) I bought two.
