Lesson plan
Pro Electron
Pro Electron or EECA is the European type designation and registration system for active devices, such as semiconductors, liquid crystal displays, sensor devices, electronic tubes and cathode-ray tubes. Pro Electron was set up in 1966 in Brussels, Belgium. In 1983 it was merged with the European Electronic Component Manufacturers Association (EECA) and since then operates as an agency of the EECA. The goal of Pro Electron is to allow unambiguous identification of electronic parts, even when made by several different manufacturers. To this end, manufacturers register new devices with the agency and receive new type designators for them.
