    Anyone know what this is?

    Pulled this out of a 20 year old Dell keyboard that gave up the ghost ... is this an inductor?

    it's a 6Mhz ceramic resonator with internal capacitors
    the center pin is ground and the outer are the main pair.

    and it's a USB keyboard most likely because 6Mhz is a derivative of the clock frequency of USB

      So it's basically a crystal with caps already installed? Whats up with the MG ... I think if it would have said Mhz it would have been a dead giveaway .... and yes, it was a USB keyboard.

        MG is some manufacturer code, they usually just have the frequency on them.

          MG seems to be a frequency range 2~8 MHz; MT 6.01~13MHz; MX 13.01~50MHz
