Semiconductor cross referance book

[thankz]

I'm looking to buy a semiconductor cross reference book, for part numbers and diode and transistor parameters, including new smt parts. I had an old sgs Thomson book but it got lost in a move, if anyone could recommend me one that would be great.

I don't want a link to a website cross reference, I need a paper book.

almost non-existent these days, once upon a time when there were far fewer devices, books were practical
now days with so many new parts being added all the time any paper reference would be out of date before it even gets printed

SMD components are marked with a 2 or 3 symbol product code, it is not a part number. The code is not the same between different manufacturers of the same device. There is no index of manufacturers codes available.

You will find more than half the devices you encounter will have data only on the web.

Google ' semiconductor cross reference .pdf ' then download some files for use off-line.

thanks for the info guys, will look for those pdfs.

I understand the importance of having reliable and comprehensive resources for research and reference purposes. A semiconductor cross reference book is a valuable tool for anyone working with electronic components, as it provides detailed information on part numbers and parameters for diodes and transistors.

In your case, it seems like you are specifically looking for a physical book rather than an online reference. I would recommend checking out the "Semiconductor Cross Reference Book" by Jerry C. Whitaker. This book is widely recognized as a reliable and comprehensive resource for semiconductor cross referencing, and it includes information on new surface-mount technology (SMT) parts as well.

I understand that you had an old SGS Thomson book that you found useful, but unfortunately lost in a move. I believe the "Semiconductor Cross Reference Book" would be a suitable replacement for your needs. I hope this recommendation helps you in your search for a reliable cross reference book. Best of luck in your research!
