Panjit International MPN encoding patterns, suffix decoding, and handler guidance. Use when working with Panjit diodes, transistors, MOSFETs, or PanjitHandler.
Panjit International is a Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturer producing discrete semiconductors including diodes, transistors, and MOSFETs. They are known for industry-standard compatible parts as well as their proprietary PJ MOSFET series.
MPN Structure
Panjit MPNs follow industry-standard patterns with package suffixes:
// 1N400x: higher voltage can replace lower
"1N4007" can replace "1N4001" through "1N4006"
// 1N540x: higher voltage can replace lower
"1N5408" can replace "1N5400" through "1N5407"
// SS series: higher current can replace lower
"SS34" can replace "SS14" (same voltage, higher current)
// Signal diode equivalents
"1N4148" == "1N914"
// MMBT equivalent to 2N
"MMBT3904" == "2N3904" (different package)
// Transistor base number match
"MMBT2222" base = "2222"
"2N2222" base = "2222"
"PN2222" base = "2222"
// All three are equivalent electrically
2N7002 is MOSFET: The 2N prefix usually indicates transistors, but 2N7002 is specifically an N-channel MOSFET. Handler explicitly excludes it from TRANSISTOR type.
PJ series proprietary: PJ series MOSFETs are Panjit's proprietary line. Package code typically follows 4-digit series number.
1N4148 vs 1N914: These are equivalent signal diodes. Handler returns true for isOfficialReplacement().
1N5817-1N5819 are Schottky: Unlike 1N5400-1N5408 which are standard rectifiers, 1N58xx in this range are Schottky diodes with lower forward voltage.
Package suffix order matters: Check longer suffixes (WS, GP, FL, NL, TP, LT, WT) before shorter (W, G, F, N, T, L). Otherwise "WS" matches "S" first.
MMBT base extraction: Extract base number for equivalence: MMBT2222A -> "2222", 2N2222A -> "2222". Both are electrically equivalent.
SS/SK current encoding: First digit is current (1-5A), second is voltage code. SS14 = 1A/40V.
BAT54 variants: BAT54S = series pair, BAT54C = common cathode. Different pinouts, not interchangeable.
