Transtronics Part Numbering System

All Transtronics part numbers start with a one to three characters long prefix to indicate the class of part. The numbers/letters after the prefix will have different meanings depending on the class of part.

I'm defining the prefixes with the following conventions:
A number/letter enclosed in brackets [I are required variables.
Numbers/letters enclosed in braces {} are optional.

Cad nomenclature for standard decal types

300x200y200-47

The first number is the spacing of the holes on the board.

Second number is the length of the package in the same plane as the PCB holes.

The third number is the width of the part package – perpendicular to the plane of the PCB holes.

The number after the dash is the finished hole size.

The first letter – where x is in the example

S is a standard 60 mil pad
R shows a Round part (with only one dimension)

The second letter – where y is in the example

P shows that the part is polarized and needs to be placed with a symbol to insure correct orientation.

D Is for a Diode outline.

NPN transistors have a schematic decal that can be numbered in more than one way. Thus there have to be NPN-EBC and NPN-BCE. And the pin s are numbered left to right 1-2-3.

A further problem is that standard decals such as SOT-23 may well have more than one numbering system. Thus the need to set a standard that looking at the top of the part, with the writing upside-up, pin one is on the lower left hand corner and they count counter clockwise as all chips should. Thus you will see some SOT23s that don’t follow this convention, and are number clockwise. These need to be designated as SOT-132. A 5-pin version (SOT23-5) would normally be SOT23-5-12345.
