I am putting together a master parts list table for my component database. I am trying to determine a good format for component part numbers. Are there any industry standards for this type of information? IPC documentation?
I was thinking of starting with some of the IPC-7351 component category tags and adding in the missing component types. The categories CAP, RES, IND, DIO, LED, BAT, etc. would work. To add sub-categories I would add suffixes. For example a 330pf 1% X7R ceramic cap in an 0805 package could be CAP_X7R-331-102-0805 A few other caps --- CAP_NPO, CAP_AE (aluminum electrolytic) Cap arrays --- CAPCAV, CAPCAX, CAPCAF For ICs maybe IC_AMP, IC_LDO, IC_74LVC138, etc. Some sort of package suffix convention is needed. I am looking for some detailed information that is public. Thanks.
