Usage Examples

Basic Pattern Matching

JAEHandler handler = new JAEHandler();
PatternRegistry registry = new PatternRegistry();
handler.initializePatterns(registry);

// Check if MPN matches
boolean isJAE = handler.matches("FI-RE51S-HF-R1500", ComponentType.CONNECTOR_JAE, registry);
// isJAE = true

// Extract pin count
int pins = handler.extractPinCount("FI-RE51S-HF-R1500");
// pins = 51

// Get application type
String app = handler.getApplicationType("FI-RE51S-HF-R1500");
// app = "FPC/FFC"

USB Type-C Detection

// Check for USB Type-C connectors
boolean isUSBC = handler.isUSBTypeC("DX07S024JA1R1500");
// isUSBC = true

int pins = handler.extractPinCount("DX07S024JA1R1500");
// pins = 24

double current = handler.getRatedCurrent("DX07S024JA1R1500");
// current = 5.0 (USB-C can carry up to 5A)

Automotive Connector Handling

// Check automotive grade and waterproof status
boolean isAuto = handler.isAutomotiveGrade("MX34036NF1");
// isAuto = true

boolean isWP = handler.isWaterproof("MX34036NF1");
// isWP = true

String pitch = handler.getPitch("MX34036NF1");
// pitch = "2.20"

Learnings & Quirks

Pin Count Extraction

• FI series: Pin count follows series code (FI-RE51S)
• DX07 series: Pin count is 3 digits after mount type (DX07S024JA1)
• MX series: Pin count is 3 digits after series number (MX34036NF1)

Series Detection Order

For FI series, check specific series before generic:

// Specific before generic
if (mpn.startsWith("FI-RE")) return "FI-RE";
if (mpn.startsWith("FI-X")) return "FI-X";
// Don't do: if (mpn.startsWith("FI-")) - too generic

Packaging Codes

• R1500 - 1500 pieces on reel
• R3000 - 3000 pieces on reel
• T - Tape packaging
• -HF - Halogen-free option

Automotive vs Consumer Grade

• MX34, MX77: Waterproof automotive grade
• MX44: Miniature automotive (not waterproof)
• FI, DX: Consumer/industrial grade
