Handler Implementation Notes
Pattern Recognition
// ZLH/ZL series - voltage follows series code
"^ZLH[0-9]+.*" // ZLH35VB...
"^ZL[0-9]+.*" // ZL25V... (not ZLH)
// YX- series - letter after YX indicates type
"^YX[FG][0-9]+.*" // YXF, YXG
"^YX[AHJL][0-9]+.*" // YXA, YXH, YXJ, YXL
// MCZ/MBZ series - voltage code after series
"^MCZ[0-9][A-Z].*" // MCZ1V...
"^MBZ[0-9][A-Z].*" // MBZ0J...
// PK/PL series - voltage prefix
"^[0-9]+P[KL][0-9]+.*" // 16PK1000...
// US- series - ultra small SMD
"^US[RTP][0-9]+.*" // USR, UST, USP
Voltage Extraction
// ZLH/YX series: extract digits between series and V
// ZLH35VB -> 35V
Pattern.compile("^(?:ZLH|ZL|YX[FGAHJL])([0-9]+)V");
// MCZ/MBZ series: decode voltage code
// MCZ1V -> 35V (1V code)
Pattern.compile("^(?:MCZ|MBZ)([0-9])([A-Z])");
// PK/PL series: extract prefix voltage
// 16PK -> 16V
Pattern.compile("^([0-9]+)P[KL]");
Package Extraction
// Dimension pattern at end of MPN
// 08X12 or 08F12 format
Pattern.compile("([0-9]{2})X([0-9]{2})$");
Pattern.compile("([0-9]{2})F([0-9]{2})$");
Replacement Rules
The handler supports these replacement scenarios:
- YXG can replace YXF: Wide temp can replace standard temp (same specs)
- PL can replace PK: Long life can replace standard (same specs)
- ZLH can replace ZL: Low impedance ZLH is higher grade than ZL
All replacements require matching voltage, capacitance, and package.

Learnings & Edge Cases
- Voltage format varies by series: ZLH/YX use direct voltage (35V), MCZ uses code (1V=35V), PK uses prefix (16PK)
- Series detection order: Check ZLH before ZL (ZLH starts with ZL)
- Package separator: Most use X (08X12), polymer may use F (08F12)
- PK/PL direct values: May use direct uF value (1000) instead of code (102)
- YX series differentiation: Single letter after YX determines series (F, G, A, H, J, L)
