Hi all,
is there a crossreference list for transistors such as C2827, C3405,
D553, D844 etc. I tried GOOGLE in various ways but got no positive
results.

All those xistors are "2S"-yaa-daa-yaa-daa-yaa-daa.
The Japanese for nomenclature each of those above
then:
2SC2827,
2SC3405,
2SD553,
2SD844
2Setc. :-)


Also the prefix number tells you the amount of pins usually.
1N - 2 leg diode.
2S - 3 leg transistor like item.
etc.
