hi,

I am making an ARM9 board that needed the crystals as shown
1)
18.432Mhz pack:3.2x2.5 mm e.g. ABM8-18.432MHZ-B2-T

2)
25 Mhz pack :MM20SS e.g.ECS-.327-12.5-17-TR


3)
32.768Khz pack : 3.2x2.5 e.g.ABM8-25.000MHZ-B2-T

these were not available in local market and digikey etc costed 5-6 times more

My changes

>>I bought local crystals as shown
1)18.432Mhz pack thru hole **broken link removed**

used with : AT91rm9200 atmel arm9 chip

2) 25 Mhz http://uk.farnell.com/productimages/farnell/standard/GE2HC494HSMX06-40.jpg
used with : ethernet controller chip
3)32.768Khz
**broken link removed**
used with :AT91rm9200 atmel arm9 chip

>I can manage to stick the crystals with superglue to some part of pcb
and join small wires to smd pads.


Question is will the substitution work.

As you have got the same values of the required components, it should work. It doesnt matter how you fit it...Cheers

Look at the datasheet of the 4 pin types: 2 pins are not connected, 2 pins are the crystal.

Connecting the 2 load caps to 2 pins of the crystal isn't too difficult
