Is there a meaning to colors on a transitor?
Benta:
MPSA06... I remember those.
You have two different things here:
1: the thin horizontal stripes are production codes for lot/year/week whatever. Done by Motorola.
2: the "colour blobs" can be anything, but certainly not OEM.
Kleinstein:
Japanese JFETs (e.g. 2SK...) often come with IDSS grading via a color code, even with the same system used on different parts. With modern part the color may have changed to a letter code representing the color (e.g. R, O Y GR BL ) not just for ordering.
