Color Code Extraction

Seoul Semi uses various conventions for color in MPNs:

Series Extraction Rules

The handler extracts series based on the product family:

Supported Component Types

The handler supports:

Note: All patterns are registered under both LED and IC types to ensure proper pattern matching in the registry.

Handler Implementation Notes

Package Code Extraction Priority

The handler checks patterns in a specific order to avoid false positives:

// 1. Check technology-specific patterns FIRST (before embedded size codes)
if (Z_POWER_PATTERN.matches()) return "Ceramic" or "High-Power";
if (ACRICH_PATTERN.matches()) return "Module";
if (WICOP_PATTERN.matches()) return "CSP";
if (MJT_PATTERN.matches()) return "MJT";
if (UV_LED_PATTERN.matches()) return "UV";
if (IR_LED_PATTERN.matches()) return "IR";
if (P_SERIES_PATTERN.matches()) return "High-Power";
if (X_SERIES_PATTERN.matches()) return "High-Power";

// 2. Then check for embedded package sizes in SunLike/STW
if (SUNLIKE_PATTERN.matches() || STW_STN_PATTERN.matches()) {
    // Extract 4-digit size code like "3030", "5050"
    return PACKAGE_CODES.getOrDefault(size, "SMD");
}

// 3. Fallback: check for ANY embedded size code
for (sizeCode : ["3030", "3535", "5050", ...]) {
    if (mpn.contains(sizeCode)) return sizeCode;
}

Color Code Extraction Priority

Color extraction checks specific patterns before generic ones:

// 1. UV/IR first (based on prefix)
if (mpn.startsWith("CUD") || mpn.contains("UV")) return "UV";
if (mpn.startsWith("SFH") || mpn.contains("IR")) return "IR";

// 2. White variants BEFORE generic white
if (contains("-CW") || contains("CW-")) return "CW";  // Cool White
if (contains("-WW") || contains("WW-")) return "WW";  // Warm White
if (contains("-NW") || contains("NW-")) return "NW";  // Neutral White

// 3. Generic white LAST
if (contains("-W0") || contains("-W-") || contains("WHT")) return "W";

Replacement Detection

Two MPNs are considered official replacements if:

1. Same series
2. Same color (or at least one unknown)
3. Same package (or at least one unknown)

Learnings & Edge Cases

• Hyphen variations: Some MPNs have optional hyphens (e.g., SMJHA3V1W1P0S0 vs SMJHA-3V1W1P0S0). Patterns must handle both.
• Z-Power variants: Z5-M0, Z5-M1, Z5-M2 are distinct power grades in the same family. M0 is typically lower power.
• SunLike spectrum: SunLike LEDs are designed to match natural sunlight spectrum for human-centric lighting.
• WICOP technology: No wire bonding or phosphor layer on LED chip - leads to smaller form factor and better thermal performance.
• Acrich modules: Self-contained AC LED modules that can run directly from mains voltage without external drivers.
• CUD UV series: Numbers after CUD (6, 8) typically indicate wavelength range (e.g., CUD6 = UVC ~275nm).
• Color code ordering: When extracting colors, check specific variants (CW, WW, NW) before generic white (W) to avoid false matches.
• Package embedded in MPN: SunLike and STW series may have 4-digit package codes embedded (e.g., 3030, 5050). Extract with regex.
• IC registration: Patterns are also registered under ComponentType.IC to ensure proper pattern matching in the handler factory.
