crystal mounting

2008-12-31 by Steven Hodge

I'm putting together a pcb with a Phillips PCF8563 Real Time Clock.  I have
an Abracon 32.768 cylinder type crystal for it.  I made the pcb pads exactly
as suggested in the data sheet for the crystal, which has one long rectangle
immediately under the cylinder part.  I just finished soldering the two
"tongs" onto their pads and everything went fine, but it just occurred to me
am I supposed to solder the can to the big pad under it also?

This is the first time I've dealt with a crystal like that.  Please excuse
the dumb question if it is one.

Thanks, Steve
