The King of Quartz Crystals™

$3.95  Stock Replacement Quartz Crystals and $4.95 Ultra™ State of the Art AT-cut Crystals

Tangidyne manufactures and stocks replacement quartz crystals for most commercially available film thickness monitors. These include 6 MHz, 14 mm diameter crystals (for Inficon, Sycon, Sigma Instruments and Maxtek instruments), 5 MHz, 14 mm diameter crystals (for Balzers instruments) and 5 MHz, 12.5 mm diameter crystals (for Ulvac and Sloan instruments). We offer the standard electrode coatings as well: gold/chromium, silver/chromium and aluminum (or "alloy").  And, our newly introduced Ultra™ line takes the standard AT-cut crystal one step further
- we have tightened tolerances from the industry standards for frequency, resistance and angle of cut to give a moderately priced crystal with unmatched performance by anyone out there. Try a few and you will be surprised - especially in critical processes like OLEDs and multilayer dielectric coating.

Our pricing is novel. We will meet or beat anyone's published price in the world. But if you want a rock bottom price, we need to have a significant volume in order to remain a profitable company! The best approach in crystal pricing: call us and tell us what you want to pay. We will do our best to accomodate you.

And as always, we offer a 100% money back, no questions asked guarantee. It doesn't get any better than that.

Add "-U" after part number for Ultra™ version. Frequency drops to a 5 Khz range, angle of cut to +/-0.5° and a few special tricks only we know about
We package all our quartz crystals in a clean room compatible container which holds 10 crystals. Careful attention to the design endures that the center of the crystal, where the actual measurement occurs (within a radius of 3 mm from the center), is not touched or contaminated by the plastic.

We use pharmaceutical grade PETG plastic for the top, and hand cleaned polystyrene for the base. This difference in plastics is needed due to the buildup of static charge between two pieces of PETG. Some manufacturers use anti-static PETG, but this contains a polymer agent that will eventually leach onto the crystal surface.


We normally package 5 discs in a second, PVC container. This avoids the use of paperboard containers that some companies use. Why go through all the trouble of keeping the crystal clean only to introduce particulates at the final packaging step?

Its this attentions to detail that makes our crystals the best in the world. Expect no less from the  King of Quartz Crystals™.
