DE PN (Display Electronics Part Number & order code)
A four character code composed of 2 alpha characters followed by 2 numerics such as AK47. This code uniquely identifies all items on the Distel database. Use this code to refer to or order goods via the DISTEL search system or order form.

Generic
Many manufacturers, especially of integrated circuits and semiconductors manufacture identical function circuits but prefix their product numbers with a manufacturers identifying prefix. For example Motorola make an MC14066 IC and PHILIPS make a HEF14066. Both parts perform an identical circuit function but have different part numbers. In general, only enter the numeric section of a partnumber into this this field. ie: enter 7400 not SN7400..

Makers Part Number
If you know the actual part number you are looking for then enter into this field. In general do not use embedded spaces, dashes, hyphens, dots or commas.

Manufacturer
This field searches on the makers name, note many semiconductor entries are stored in manufacturers abbreviated name format such as MOT for Motorola, HIT for Hitachi and NSC for National Semiconductors etc. If in doubt just enter the first two or three letters of the makers name you are looking for.

Item description
This field contains a one line entry giving a brief description of the item, usually it's partnumber and simple text description such as Integrated Circuit or Video Distribution Amplifier etc.
