Explanations and abbreviations
Explanations and abbreviations to VRT-DISK-Database

 Back to menu »VRT-DISK Help«

In the database the most important semiconductor components  irrelevant as to whether it is dealing with transistors, diodes, thyristors integrated circuits etc.  are listed in selected order.

The individual types are provided with the most important relevant short data, and  as far as possible and as far as purposeful  suitable comparative types are named.

The columns of the database:

Column »Type«	Column »Device«	Column »Description«

Column »Case«	Column »Replacements«	Column »ECA-Book«


↓ see graphic below ↓


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description of the type
Column »Type«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

The type designations correspond to those of the respective manufacturer documentations. They are sometimes stamped on the components themselves in a deviating or abbreviated form.

With several identical type designations of one kind or component (e.g. »BF 232«) the abbreviation of the manufacturer is added in square brackets »[...]« to the type designation.

Selection identifications through added on letters or figures are only then considered if this is important in practice and with type comparison.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description of the device
Column »Device«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

Short definition of the semiconductor component.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.

Used abbreviations:


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description
Column »Description«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

Short data or description of function of each type.

A Mouseclick on the magnifying glass in the column description renders a jump to the alternate type of a component (signed through a »=« e.g.: =1N191), for this the line must be marked.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.

Used abbreviations:


A doubleclick with your mouse on =1N191 have the same function.


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description of the pin assignment
Column »Case«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

Related drawing number (figure) and pin-assignment (appended letter) with discrete semiconductors. With ICs just a schematic drawing is provided without pin-assignment. The degrees mark (°) means: case with additional heat sink.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description of the replacements
Column »Replacements«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

With the details on the alternate types, just a selection of the types »closely related« to the original type is given. They are preferably types which are not too difficult to obtain.

In practice there are usually many more alternate types applicable than there is room for in this table. The characterizing mark »+ +« after the last alternate type is to attract particular attention.

The »Selector tables« in the ECA data books (»tdv1...tdv4«, »ddv1«, »ddv2«, »tht«) conceal unsuspected furthering possibilities. These ECA data books should by all means be consulted for an exact type comparison in critical cases.

If not otherwise mentioned in footnotes, the given alternate types have the same or better electrical data and can be applied without mechanical problems. The same pin-assignment has only been given attention to in the case of power types and ICs, as with small components the connections can be easily exchanged to fit. A check on any differing assignments is very much advised, and with VRT-DISK is easy to carry out.

When a comparison type is followed by a makers name (abbreviated) in square brackets, this means the data stems from this manufacturer and has not been verified by the author.(!)

In order not to exceed the capacity of VRT-DISK, the detailed ECA books (»tdv1...tdv4«, »ddv1«, »ddv2«, »tht«, »lin1«, »lin2«, »ttl7400«, »cmos4000/7400« etc.) have partly had to be referred to. The incredible variety of the components and comparison possibilities cannot be fully shown in this scope with digital logic circuits, voltage stabilizers, Z-diodes, thyristors and operational amplifiers.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.


Column in the VRT-DISK-Database window for the description of the ECA-Volume
Column »ECA-Volume«

 Back to menu »Explanations and abbreviations«

Name of the ECA-volume in which exact data and further comparisons for original type are to be found. In all critical application cases the relevant parameters of the comparison types are to be compared with those of the original in order to prevent any »surprises« !

This is only possible with the ECA data books.

All informations of the current semiconductor components can also called up through the [image] button, or with the option »Datasheet« in the menu »Data«.


Program faults
Despite very careful research, errors excepted. There is no liability for failure in practice. If you have problemes with VRT-DISK, take a look in the rubric »Known Problems« first, probably your problem and it´s solution is represent there. If you have further problems, do not hesitate to get us to assist you, but before you contacting us, please fill out the problem-questionnaire (called up through the button Problems).
