## JIS-C-7012
**First Number**
The first number indicates the number of junctions in the semiconductor device.
- 1 = Diode
- 2 = Bipolar transistor or single gate field effect transistor
- 3 = Dual gate field effect transistor
**Letters in positions 2 & 3**
- SA = PNP high frequency bipolar transistor
- SB = PNP audio frequency bipolar transistor
- SC = NPN high frequency bipolar transistor
- SD = NPN audio frequency bipolar transistor
- SE = Diodes
- SF = Thyristor (SCR)

**Serial number**
The serial number follows the first digit and the two semiconductor device type letters. The numbers run between 10 and 9999.
**Suffix**
Following the serial number a suffix can be used to indicate the device has been type approved, i.e. there is a guarantee that it has been manufactured under the right conditions to produce the required semiconductor device.
