Note: Some types are declared in getSupportedTypes() but may not have corresponding patterns registered in initializePatterns().
// Crystals: Extract size code at positions 3-4 after prefix
// ABM03-... -> "03" -> "3.2 x 2.5mm"
String sizeCode = upperMpn.substring(3, 5);
// Oscillators: Package code comes after dash
// ASCO-12.000MHZ-E-T -> "E" -> "5.0 x 3.2mm"
int dashIndex = upperMpn.indexOf('-');
String pkgCode = upperMpn.substring(dashIndex + 1, dashIndex + 3);
// Inductors: Size code at positions 4-5
// AIAL02-... -> "02" -> "0201"
String sizeCode = upperMpn.substring(4, 6);
The handler returns human-readable series names:

| ABL | "Low Profile Crystal" |
| ABT | "Tuning Fork Crystal" |
| ABS | "Automotive Crystal" |
| ASCO | "Standard Oscillator" |

| AIAL | "Air Core Inductor" |
| AIML | "Multilayer Inductor" |
| AIRP | "Power Inductor" |
The isOfficialReplacement() method checks:
// Stability compatibility: lower PPM (tighter tolerance) can replace higher
// Example: 10PPM crystal can replace 20PPM crystal
int ppm1 = Integer.parseInt(stability1.replace("PPM", ""));
int ppm2 = Integer.parseInt(stability2.replace("PPM", ""));
return ppm1 <= ppm2; // Lower is better, can replace higher

manufacturers/AbraconHandler.javaCRYSTAL, CRYSTAL_ABRACON, OSCILLATOR, OSCILLATOR_ABRACON, OSCILLATOR_TCXO_ABRACON, OSCILLATOR_VCXO_ABRACON, OSCILLATOR_OCXO_ABRACONHashSet in getSupportedTypes(): Uses mutable HashSet instead of Set.of(). Should be modernized.
Type/Pattern Mismatch: getSupportedTypes() declares these types that have NO patterns registered:
OSCILLATOR_OCXO_ABRACON - no OCXO patternsCLOCK_ABRACON - no clock patternsANTENNA_ABRACON - no antenna patterns (but ABA* registered as IC)RF_FILTER_ABRACON - no filter patterns (but ABF* registered as IC)RF Products Registered as IC: Antennas (ABA), filters (ABF), baluns (ABB), and diplexers (ABUN) are registered under ComponentType.IC instead of their specific types.
VCXO Pattern Mismatch: The pattern for OSCILLATOR_VCXO_ABRACON uses ^ASXV[0-9].* but the base OSCILLATOR type uses ^ASV[0-9].* (note ASXV vs ASV).
