Technically speaking, ceramic resonators have similar functions when compared with quartz crystals, though their precision and frequency stability are slightly lower. In this regard, a quartz crystal could work in place of a ceramic resonator, but not vice versa.
So, why such an electronic component is still manufactured?
For communication devices, instruments and meters, quart crystals are preferred due to their high precision. However, if precision and frequency stability are not strictly required, a ceramic resonator would work as well, but it saves a lot of cost. For example, this cheap device is often seen in radios, televisions, electronic toys, lighting devices, TV remote controllers, home theater systems, small household appliances and other electronic products.
