Marking Query

When it comes to marking query screen printing for electronic components, specific models can be identified based on the information provided above the components. Generally, electronic components have their own screen printing, such as chip resistors. For example, a chip resistor may have the screen printing "102" to represent a 1K resistor with a 5% accuracy. On the other hand, "1001" may also indicate a 1K resistor, but with a 1% accuracy. The markings "102" and "1001" correspond to the values of 1K ± 5% and 1K ± 1%, respectively.

In most cases, approximately 95% of the components have their own screen printing. These markings can vary based on different standards (such as GB), manufacturers, and component types. Examples of components with screen printing include plug-in resistors, chip resistors, electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors, safety capacitors, and polyester capacitors. By observing the markings on these components, one can determine the type of component and its value. For integrated circuits (ICs), the factory's screen printing provides information such as the company's logo, model number, and batch number. The information about a particular IC can be found on the official website of the manufacturer, such as NXP for the LPC2119 chip. Similarly, for chips like the ST7282, which is manufactured by ST, the manufacturer's identity is easily recognizable.

However, the challenge arises when dealing with the screen printing of certain components, especially transistors. Firstly, transistor sizes tend to be relatively small, making it difficult to print detailed information. Additionally, various manufacturers produce transistors, both domestic and foreign. Among the well-known domestic manufacturers is Long Power, while foreign manufacturers include ST, NXP, TI, and others. For instance, a Long Power transistor labeled "Y1" may not be easily identifiable to someone unfamiliar with electronics, but those knowledgeable in electronics would recognize that "Y1" represents the SS8050 transistor. Similarly, East Conduction Technology has compiled a reference for commonly used transistor codes.

When we come across the same screen printing on different models, how do we determine the specific model? In such cases, it is necessary to rely on physical analysis, which is typically based on schematic analysis.

In some cases, we encounter chip components that have no silk screen markings. There are a few reasons for this. Firstly, manufacturers may customize components according to specific customer demands and choose not to include silk screen markings (Marking) on the components. Secondly, it could be due to deliberate actions by the manufacturer to polish off the original markings in order to prevent technology leakage. Thirdly, over a long period of use, the screen printing may naturally wear off. However, such cases are quite rare and unlikely to occur frequently.

What should you do when faced with such a situation? Identifying the model of the chip becomes the most challenging aspect in the Marking query. This process requires a certain level of technical expertise and a stroke of luck. There are various methods for conducting the query, and depending on the type of Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), the PCB schematic can be used as a reference. Alternatively, clues can be sought directly from the film itself. Shenzhen East Guide Technology possesses a strong advantage in this area, offering expertise in navigating and solving such challenges.
