│    │    │    │ │ │
│    │    │    │ │ └── Packaging (EA=Tape & Reel)
│    │    │    │ └──── Termination (K=Standard)

Key Handler Methods

Extract Package Code

Copy// Returns "0603" from "CRCW060310K0FKEA"
handler.extractPackageCode("CRCW060310K0FKEA");

// Returns "0805" from "RC0805JR-0710KL"
handler.extractPackageCode("RC0805JR-0710KL");

Extract Series

Copy// Returns "CRCW" from Vishay
handler.extractSeries("CRCW060310K0FKEA");

// Returns "RC0603" from Yageo (includes size)
handler.extractSeries("RC0603FR-0710KL");

Adding New Resistor Patterns

1. In the manufacturer handler's initializePatterns():

Copyregistry.addPattern(ComponentType.RESISTOR, "^NEWPFX[0-9]{4}.*");
registry.addPattern(ComponentType.RESISTOR_CHIP_MANUFACTURER, "^NEWPFX[0-9]{4}.*");

1. Add to getSupportedTypes():

Copytypes.add(ComponentType.RESISTOR);
types.add(ComponentType.RESISTOR_CHIP_MANUFACTURER);

1. Implement matches() for direct pattern matching (faster than regex fallback)

Similarity Calculation

ResistorSimilarityCalculator compares:

• Resistance value (extracted from MPN)
• Package size (0402, 0603, 0805, etc.)
• Tolerance class (1%, 5%, etc.)
• Power rating (if determinable)
