(This foreword is not a part of American National Standard Graphic Symbols for
Electrical and Electronics Diagrams, Y32.2-1975 [IEEE Std 315-1975])
This American National Standard is a revision and expansion of American National Standard
Graphic Symbols for Electrical and Electronics Diagrams, Y32.2-1970 (IEEE Std 315-1971).
A variety of specialized symbols originally used for aircraft applications have been added to make
this standard more comprehensive. To improve coordination with IEC pUblication 117, IEC ap-
proved versions of capacitor, transformer, delay, associated conductors and specialized ground
symbols have been added as alternates to those long used and standardized in the United States. A
num ber of small changes have made the existing material more closely parallel to IEC Publication
117. Symbols have been added to cover additional devices in the photo sensitive semiconductor and
specialized semiconductor fields, as well as for an electronic flash lamp. Known errors have been
corrected and some items have been clarified.
The reference designation class letters were revised to include the added new device symbols and
to clarify the DS and LS categories. "D" is now listed as an alternate to the common "CR" for the
common semiconductor diode family of devices.
All of the symbols are designed so that their connection points fall on a modular grid. This should
help those who use a grid basis for the preparation of diagrams. By proper enlargement of the
symbols the usual coordinate-grid sizes can be matched. Most symbols appearing in this standard
were reproduced from original drawings prepared for the Mergenthaler Diagrammer.
A substantial effort has been made to have this American National Standard compatible with
approved International Electronical Commission (lEC) Recommendations (lEC Publication 117, in
various parts). Electrical diagrams are a factor in international trade; the use of one common symbol
language ensures a clear presentation and economical diagram preparation for a variety of users.
Members of the preparing committee have been active in transmitting USA viewpoints to the
cognizant IEC Technical Committee.
Alternative symbols are shown only in those cases where agreement on a common symbol could
not be attained at this time. It is hoped that the number of alternative symbols will be reduced in
future editions.
The symbols in this standard represent the best consensus that can be attained at this time.
Standardization, however, must be dynamic, not static, and any solution of a problem should be
tested through use and revised if necessary. It is anticipated that the contents of this standard will
be modified as future needs dictate; such modifications will be made available through the issuance
of approved supplements. Suggestions for improvement are welcomed. They should be addressed
to:

This standard has been prepared by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
Standards Coordinating Committee for Letter and Graphic Symbols (SCC 11), acting for the Y32.2
Task Group on Graphic Symbols for Electrical and Electronics Diagrams of the American National
Standards Committee Y 32, Graphic Symbols and Designations. There has been close cooperation
between the industry and DOD representatives to provide one standard that can be universally used,
rather than separate documents with their tendency to differ in various respects. While credit for
this accomplishment is due all participants and the organizations they represent, particular mention
is given to the U.S. Department of Defense, without whose strong support in reaching the objec-
tive-standard symbols acceptable to both industry and the military departments-the effort would
not have succeeded.
This standard is complemented by a number of related standards listed in Section 23.
The American National Standards Committee on Graphic Symbols and Designations, Y32, had ~
the following personnel at the time it approved this standard:
Charles A. Fricke, Chairman
Conrad R. Muller, Vice Chairman, Electrical and Electronics
James L. Fisher, Jr., Vice Chairman, Pictographic Symbols
