What is this component? What does it do?

[sluggo]

Thanks for that reply, sluggo.

Would the linked part (10th one down on the left hand side) be what I need?

Nope. The parts on that page are what's often referred to as hybrid oscillators. They have the crystal and a few other components in that package that you don't want. It's also a 4-pin device and is FAR larger than you have room for.

You want something like this.

It's available from Digikey thusly.

Just $.73 and prolly $10 for shipping

Now that does look like the part that I need.

One of the guys had linked me to that site, but I just didn't know just what to search for. Thank you very much for your help.

damn when i clicked the digikey link, its telling me the datasheets expired, please search again, grr sorry i cant print and take it over there to compare

[sluggo]

Digikey part number is XC741CT-ND

They won't allow hotlinking the datasheet, but it's there if you enter the part number at Digikey's home page

Update:

I received an email from Frank Wong of DFI referencing my bronken component and after a brief phone call he offered to send me the needed component.

That certainly made my day and I am most appreciative of his help, as well as the help that I've received from the members here. Wouldn't have known where to start without it.

Good to hear . Frank Wong is a real good guy.

Kudos to DFI and specifically to Frank Wong!

As promised, the component(s) arrived today via FedEx (they sent me two...just in case I screw up the first install I'll still have one to take to a pro ).
