Japanese Industrial Standards
are the standards used for industrial activities in Japan, coordinated by the Japanese Industrial Standards Committee (JISC) and published by the Japanese Standards Association (JSA). The JISC is composed of many nationwide committees and p ...
(JIS) has standard JIS-C-7012 for semiconductor part numbers. The first digit denotes the ''p-n junction count'' ("3" may also denote a dual-gate FET); then follows the letter "S", then:
Then follows the ''
's Electronic DEvice REgistration Center'' (JEITA-EDEREC)-assigned part number, optionally followed by suffixes (such as "A", "B", "C", or "R", "O", "BL", standing for "Red", "Orange", "Blue" etc.) to denote variants, such as tighter h
FE (gain) groupings.
Example: 2SD965, but sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package – a 2SD965 might only be marked "D965"; a 2SC1815 might be listed by a supplier as simply "C1815", thus possibly creating confusion with
Pro Electron abbreviated markings, because a transistor marked "D965" might either be a 2SD965 or a BD965.
