Crystal Tester SMT Kit (#5304)
This Crystal Tester (SMT)Surface Mount Technology Project Kit is very popular and easy to build. It will light up the Green LED whenever a good crystal is tested. It has been tested with crystals from 1MHz to 60MHz. It comes with a 3-pin Terminal to fit your crystal, so that you don't have to solder it in to test it.
You get the PCB, Schematics, Electronic component parts, and some crystals to experiment with. It requires a 9 volt battery which is not included. The PCB is 0.062" thick and double-sided with soldermask on both sides.
This kit is offered with a "Built & Tested" option for those that do not want to build the kit themselves.
Below is a detailed introduction to component identification and kit assembly.
