- JEDEC seems to number them according to one less than the number of terminals, thus TRIACs, and thyristors, and darlington transiostors get 2N numbers even though they contain 3 or more junctions.
- optocouplers come in with numbers like 3N 4N 5N 6N again based on pinout more than internals.
- Bridge rectifiers are 1N or 3N seemingly at random, it's possible that one or the other is not a JEDEC part number.
- JIS seems to do the same as JEDEC, although I have not encountered any JDEC parts other than diodes and transistors (and darlington transistors)
- Pro-Elecron (EECA) is completely different.
- > In the second digit I have seen only diodes with the letter N.Does it represent the material the diode is made of and what other letters can we have instead of N?
- All JEDEC part numbers have N second
- All JIS numbers have S second
- so far as I know only Pro-Electron codes the semiconductor material type in the part number. it's the first letter
- A for germanium,
- B for silicon,
- C for alloy semiconductors like gallium arsenide or tungsten carbide
There are lots of parts that are not numbered by any of these schemes or only use a numbering inspired by one of them.
