4060C

4060C is a designation used for various products across different industries. It does not refer to a single, universally defined item, and its meaning depends on the context, the manufacturer, and the market sector.

In electronics, 4060C commonly appears in reference to CMOS timing devices in the 4060 family, such as the CD4060. These devices implement a 14-stage binary ripple counter with an on‑chip oscillator and are used for timing generation, delay circuits, and frequency division. The “C” in catalog numbers can indicate a particular package type or temperature grade, but these conventions are not standardized across manufacturers.

Outside electronics, 4060C can be used as a model or part code for components in automotive, industrial equipment, or consumer electronics. Because the same code may be reused by different companies, identifying the exact part requires consulting the specific manufacturer's datasheet and verifying the device markings, package, and application.

For researchers or buyers, best practices include noting any accompanying letters or suffixes, searching the full part number in vendor catalogs, and cross-referencing with datasheets and warranty information. If possible, verify the device marking on the physical item or the accompanying documentation to ensure correct identification.
