Cosmo Electronics Manufacturer Skill

Overview

Cosmo Electronics is a Taiwanese manufacturer specializing in optocouplers and photo interrupters. Their product lines use the "KP" prefix family.

MPN Structure

Cosmo MPNs follow these general patterns:

KP Series (Phototransistor Optocouplers)

KP[SERIES][VARIANT][-SUFFIX]
   |         |         |
   |         |         +-- Optional: -1=DIP-4, C/S=SMD
   |         +-- Variant letter (optional)
   +-- 4-digit series (e.g., 1010, 2010, 4010)

KPC Series (High Isolation)

KPC[SERIES][CTR-GRADE][PKG-IND][-SUFFIX]
    |         |          |        |
    |         |          |        +-- Optional suffix
    |         |          +-- Package indicator (S/G=SMD, T=SOP)
    |         +-- CTR Grade: A/B/C/D
    +-- 3-digit series (e.g., 817, 357)

Example Decoding

KP1010-1
|  |   |
|  |   +-- -1 = DIP-4 package
|  +-- 1010 = Single channel phototransistor
+-- KP = Phototransistor optocoupler series

KPC817C-1
|  |  | |
|  |  | +-- -1 = DIP-4 package
|  |  +-- C = CTR grade (200-400%)
|  +-- 817 = General purpose high isolation
+-- KPC = High isolation optocoupler

KPH121S
|  |  |
|  |  +-- S = SMD package
|  +-- 121 = High speed single channel
+-- KPH = High speed optocoupler

Handler Implementation Notes

Pattern Matching

// KP series: 4-digit series number
"^KP\\d{4}.*"        // KP1010, KP2010, KP4010

// KPC series: 3-digit series number
"^KPC\\d{3}.*"       // KPC817, KPC357

// KPH series: 3-digit series number
"^KPH\\d{3}.*"       // KPH121, KPH141

// KPS series: 4-digit series number
"^KPS\\d{4}.*"       // KPS1010, KPS2010

// KPTR series: 4-digit series number
"^KPTR\\d{4}.*"      // KPTR1200, KPTR1201

Series Extraction

// Returns prefix + series number
"KP1010-1" -> "KP1010"
"KPC817C" -> "KPC817"
"KPH121S" -> "KPH121"
"KPS2010C" -> "KPS2010"
"KPTR1200" -> "KPTR1200"

Package Extraction Logic

// Check for -1 suffix first
"KPC817C-1" -> "DIP-4"

// KPS series is always SMD
"KPS1010" -> "SMD"

// KPTR series is always SMD
"KPTR1200" -> "SMD"

// Check package indicators for KPC
"KPC817CS" -> "SMD"  // S = SMD
"KPC817CT" -> "SOP"  // T = SOP thin

// Check variant letter for KP/KPH
"KP1010C" -> "SMD"
"KPH121S" -> "SMD"

// Default packages
"KP1010" -> "DIP-4"
"KPC817C" -> "DIP-4"
"KPH121" -> "DIP"

CTR Grade Extraction

// KPC series: letter after 3-digit number
"KPC817A" -> "A"
"KPC817B-1" -> "B"
"KPC817CS" -> "C"  // C is CTR, S is package

Component Types

The handler maps to these ComponentTypes:

Prefix	ComponentTypes
KP, KPC, KPH, KPS	IC, OPTOCOUPLER_TOSHIBA
KPTR	IC, SENSOR

Note: Uses

OPTOCOUPLER_TOSHIBA

as the generic optocoupler type (historical naming).

Learnings & Edge Cases

• CTR grade vs package indicator: For KPC series, the first letter after digits is CTR grade (A-D), subsequent letters may be package indicators (S/G/T). Order matters.
• KPS always SMD: The KPS prefix indicates SMD package regardless of any suffix.
• KPTR is a sensor: KPTR series are reflective sensors, not optocouplers. They map to SENSOR type.
• Channel count from series: 1010/1020 = single, 2010 = dual, 4010 = quad. The first digit often indicates channel count.
• Replacement compatibility: Same series with different packages (DIP vs SMD) are not direct replacements due to footprint differences.
