The service references more than 51,000 pages from approximately 700 filmed catalogs representing more than 200 manufacturers. Content The book contains extrapolated index data on transistors, thyristors, rectifiers, diodes and light emitting diodes. Indexing is by type number and cross-reference number. The user is provided type number, cross-referencing number, supplier name, description/ application and the location of the actual data page on microfilm or microfiche in the VSMF Design Engineering Service. More than 185,000 Semiconductor Type Numbers are listed in this service. A special vendor name section in this book includes complete addresses, phone numbers, and all domestic and international sales offices for every vendor in this service. Organization The Type Number and Cross-Referencing Type Number listings of Data are used to locate the Semiconductor devices in this service. Data appearing on these listings are extrapolated from the manufacturers' actual data pages. The extrapolated data is then referenced back to the microfilm or microfiche location of the actual technical data page for full review by the user. Indexing The printed index is searched by Type Number and Cross- Reference Type Number. ■ There are over 185,000 Type Number listings sequenced by: - Registered Type Number - 1N, 2N, 3N - Proprietary Type Numbers - alphamumeric - Mil-S-19500 Slash Sheet - Cross-Reference Type Numbers ■ Each line entry in the Type Number and Cross Reference listings contains the following information: - Type Number - Cross-reference Type Number - Description/Application of Device - Supplier Name - Microfilm cartridge and frame or fiche card/row-column location of actual technical data page used to extrapolate the data. Another unique feature of this Service is the IHS copyrighted Locator Code System. This Locator Code System allows the user to immediately cross-index into other major IHS databases, such as Military and Federal Specifications (both active and historical), Industry Standards and International Standards. Updating Every 120 days. Format Printed Books with either microfilm or microfiche references to actual manufacturers data pages. Related SCPR is designed to be used in conjunction with the Services Electronics section of the Design Engineering Service or with a specialized segment of the Design Engineering Service. The Electronics section, as well as the specialized segment of Design Engineering, contains all of the technical data pages referenced in SCPR. In addition, the technical data pages are arranged in such a fashion to display similar kinds of devices in a side-by-side format. SCPR is also a sister product to the Integrated Circuit Parameter Retrieval (ICPR) product. ICPR, which is formatted much the same as SCPR, contains three comprehensive, sophisticated indexes: Type Number, Original Circuit Number and a Function (Application) listing of integrated circuits. As with SCPR, the user is referenced to the actual technical data page on microfilm or microfiche. The SCPR index is also available in a filmed form as well as online through IHS' Tech-Data System. ---------------------------------------------------------------- INDEX VENDOR CATALOG SERVICE VOLUME C, PRODUCT/LOCATOR CODE LISTING Product No. 205 General The Volume C VCS Index/Directory contains over 89,000 Description specific product subject search terms.

It has been designed by IHS to incorporate the special characteristics required by original design/redesign, purchasing, receiving/inspection, logistics, drafting and technical writing where OEM and alternate sourcing of vendors technical catalog product data is required. Types of Data The service contains more than 7,756 microfilmed catalogs from more than 2,200 vendors of commercial and industrial products/services. Total page count for the service is more than 516,806. Organization This service has technical data pages arranged on microfilm of Data in two different formats: Complete catalogs are microfilmed cover-to-cover and packaged in cartridges or in fiche sets together with additional technical data as provided by the vendor such as drawings, schematics, specification sheets, applications data, pricing data, and other general catalog information. 150,000 selected integrated circuit and semiconductor technical data pages are all filmed in a product comparison format wherein similar kinds of devices are filmed side-by- side. Indexing Full catalog product technical data can be located on film by four different search methods: ■ Vendor Name Listing: (Volume A) Vendors are listed alphabetically showing the vendor's divisional name structure, primary address, phone numbers and an Order of Data listing showing the major elements of the catalog with specific film locations for each element listed. Vendor Name Listings also contain SIC, CAGE, 800, TWX, TELEX, and CABLE numbers when available from the vendor. ■ Brand/Trade Name Listing: (Volume B) Over 40,000 brand/trade names are listed alphabetically showing the appropriate vendors name with a microfilm reference showing the actual data page the brand/trade name appears on. ■ Product/Locator Code Listing: (Volume C) This indexing method utilizes the 77,000 specific product and subject terms in the Product/Subject section to direct the user to appropriate Locator Codes under which are listed specific vendor names and film locations for their Order of Data product listing. ■ FSC Conversion Table: A separate booklet showing Federal Supply Class conversion to the VSMF Locator Code System. This allows the searching of vendor catalog information via a Federal Supply Class. Integrated Circuit and Semiconductor technical data indexing methods are very sophisticated.
