In my college, we used this transistor named SL100 and another one named CL100 for various experiments. But why are they named that way? I browsed the net for an answer for almost an hour but couldn't find a proper answer to this? What does S and L mean? what does 100 mean?
From the Datasheets, I found that SK100 and CK100 are PNP transistors and SL100 and CL100 are NPN transistors, so I inferred that 'L' denotes that it is an NPN transistor and K for PNP transistor... But I am not sure. Some sources say S stands for "slew" and L for low frequency...
Then I landed up in this wiki page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Electron
But this says 'S' is for Solitary digital integrated circuits. I have no clue what is that supposed to mean! And that wiki link is the one with the "MOST DETAILS" that i could find. Someone please help me with this...![Cry :cry: :cry:](/styles/physicsforums/xenforo/smilies/cry.png)
