Class Designation Letters For Reference Designations

This document provides a list of class designation letters used for reference designations in electronics. The letters are used to categorize components by their function, such as A for amplifiers, B for blowers/motors, C for caps, D for diodes, E for electrical parts, F for fuses, etc. up to Z for general networks/phase shifters. Some letters have additional notes like FD for fiducial points and TP for test points. The list is from ANSI and IEEE standards for electronic component reference designations.
