[!TLDR]

Crystal equivalent circuit: a series R-L-Cs branch in parallel with the mounting capacitance Cm.

Electrically, a vibrating crystal behaves like a tuned circuit. Its equivalent circuit has a series branch made of a resistance RR (mechanical friction), an inductance LL (crystal mass) and a capacitance CsC_s (elasticity). This series branch is connected in parallel with the mounting capacitance CmC_m, which arises from the two metal plates with the crystal as dielectric. This network giv …
