The packing specification of LSI parts in AKM are based on the standard of JEDEC (J-STD-033D).

Packing classification indexes of a part number are not included in this website.
Example: "AK□□□□"
When ordering, part numbers are followed by the packing classification index: L, E1 and E2, which represents the taping direction.
Example: "AK□□□□-L", "AK□□□□-E1", "AK□□□□-E2"
[Note]
You may sometimes see "P" or "-8" character in AKM part number. This type of the part number is internally used and it is the same product as the one without these characters.
