Here's a search result link from IEEE which has the full pdf versions (see items 40 and 41) If the link doesn't come across go to http://ieeexplore.ieee.org and search on "reference designations" I couldn't find the spec at ANSI's site either. Regards jmc http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/search97/s97is

Hi all, Even the term "Designator conventions" smacks of oxymoron. I am trying to create a company library database and SOP for design. I have many Engineers with various cultural backgrounds, some of which use some pretty weird ID's and symbols. Before I institute my 10 commandments, I would love

Hi We use IEEE 315A-1986 which replaced the ANSI standard. I co-wrote a company standard based on this which includes standardised part descriptions as well. You would be welcome to the file if you felt it would be useful. It is a Word97 doc. Regards, Alan Gore. Development Engineer. OEM GPS Pro

All, I just went to the ANSI site, and had no luck finding my way around. Does anyone have some quick advise on how to navigate through this site www.ansi.org to actually find the ANSI Y32.16-1975 standard? I typed Y32.16 on their search engine, and it came up with no result. Many Thanks, Andy

I hope it doesn't give CR for a diode ! or IC for a U so what do you do with a 3 pin regulator that looks like a Q? I have taken to naming them Q or sometimes REG if you name them U the assembly people look all around for an IC type package personally I like Z for a zener and TZ for a tranzorb,
