Tektronix part numbers
In its history, Tektronix part numbers followed one of two systems:
- The original number scheme, used up thru 1964, had a 3-digit product group prefix followed by a 3-digit part number, e.g. 013-013.
- On February 1, 1965, Tektronix sent the letter on the right to all their customers, announcing their new numbering system.
- From that day on, the old part numbering system was extended to a 3-digit product group prefix, a 4-digit part number and a 2-digit suffix, e.g. 013-0013-00 instead of 013-013. The suffix can indicate a version of the component or assembly, a quality or a speed grade (see e.g. 155-0078-00), a phosphor type (e.g. 154-0644-05 vs 154-0644-09), or some other product variant. It is typically -00 when unused.
The -99 suffix seems to be used for non-supported in-house products that were not designed to be released to the general public (e.g. 067-0883-99 or 067-0701-99).
