BS EN 60617-9:1996 is another standard in the BS 60617 series, which specifies graphical symbols for use in electrotechnical diagrams. This particular standard pertains to graphical symbols used to indicate the function of semiconductor devices in diagrams.
Semiconductor devices are electronic components that make use of semiconducting materials such as silicon to control the flow of electrical current. They are commonly used in electronic circuits such as amplifiers, switches, and power supplies. BS EN 60617-9:1996 provides a standardized set of graphical symbols for these devices, which helps to ensure clear and consistent communication among engineers, technicians, and other professionals involved in electrotechnical design.
The symbols included in this standard cover a range of semiconductor devices, including diodes, transistors, thyristors, and integrated circuits. Each symbol is designed to convey specific information about the device's function, such as whether it is a p-n junction diode, a field-effect transistor, or a digital integrated circuit.
In addition to the graphical symbols themselves, BS EN 60617-9:1996 also includes guidelines for the use of these symbols in diagrams. For example, it specifies the size and spacing of symbols, the orientation of terminals, and the use of reference designators.
Overall, BS EN 60617-9:1996 is an important standard for those involved in the design and development of electrotechnical systems that use semiconductor devices. By providing a standardized set of graphical symbols, it helps to ensure clear and consistent communication among professionals working in this field.
