32.768 KHz Crystal - 12.5pF capacitor load

A 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal in a standard cylindrical through-hole package. This frequency is the standard timebase for real-time clocks (RTCs) and low-power timing circuits — dividing by 2^15 gives exactly 1 Hz for precise timekeeping.

The symmetric package is breadboard-friendly and works with any microcontroller, RTC, or device that requires an external 32.768 kHz crystal. Most 32.768 kHz crystals do not require external load capacitors, but check your device datasheet for any additional components such as a 1MΩ feedback resistor.
