==Numbering System==
In its history, '''Tektronix part numbers''' followed one of two systems:
In its history, '''Tektronix part numbers''' followed one of two systems:


* The original number scheme, used up to 1964, had a 3-digit product group prefix followed by a 3-digit part number, e.g. [[013-013]].
[[File:Tek New PNs-2.1.65.pdf|300px|thumb|right|link=https://w140.com/tekwiki/images/9/98/Tek_New_PNs-2.1.65.pdf|Feb 1965 Announcement Letter Introducing the New Part Number System (click to enlarge)  ]]
* From 1965 on, this was extended to 3-digit product group prefix, 4-digit part number and 2-digit suffix, e.g. [[013-0013-00]] instead of 013-013.<br />The suffix can indicate a version of the component or assembly, a quality or 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.
===6-digit Scheme (1947–1964)===
The original number scheme, used until February 1965, had a 3-digit product group prefix followed by a 3-digit part number, e.g. [[013-013]].


The known '''product groups''' are:
===9-digit Scheme (1965–)===
On February 1, 1965, Tektronix sent [[Media:Tek New PNs-2.1.65.pdf|a letter to all their customers]] to announce their new numbering system.
The change was also announced in [[Media:Service_Scope_31_Apr_1965.pdf|Service Scope 31, April 1965]].


{| class=wikitable |
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 grade (quality or speed, 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. <br />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]]).
