Variant Components
A variant component is one that has the same circuit reference but different value or specification in
different product types. Where two products share the same PCB, the term “variant” is also used to
describe components unplaced in one product. Variant components have a character prefix, such as
“&”, “=” or “#”, before the circuit reference (e.g. &R100).
Grid Reference Index
This section contains a component grid reference index to help you find components and labelled
pads on the PCB layouts and circuit diagrams. This index lists the components and pads in alpha-
numeric order, along with the appropriate alphanumeric grid references, as shown below:
