FCC ID Search

In most cases if the computer equipment is in a case it is on a small sticker, in the back of course.
Or if it is an add-in card it is usually on a small sticker or etched directly onto the PCB as is the case with this sound card:

Some search examples:

So you were lucky and actually found a FCC ID number, now what do you do with it? The FCC ID number consists of two parts a grantee code and an equipment product code. The Grantee code is the first three characters and the equipment product code can range from 1 to 12 characters. In the previous section I have a sound card with the FCC ID Number of LF7SS2016 let use this for some search examples. You can access the FCC ID search from this page,or use this handy pop-up window. So inputting LF7 in for the Grantee code and SS2016 returns Ensoniq Corporation as the Applicant Name for this component, hey I've heard of them, if not I bet if I go to Driverzone.com they would know. One item of note, is that only the Grantee code is required, if I had just inputted LF7 in the Grantee code field, I would have received the same information, just more records.

More Search Examples:

As stated in the previous section the FCC ID number consists of a three character grantee code and a one to twelve character equipment code. Some companies will use a hyphen (-) as one of the equipment characters, this must be used when searching, for example a FCC ID number of: B4Z-34009-PIR, breaks down into this:
[B4Z] [-34009-PIR]

No Data Returned:

If you have a proper FCC ID number and you get no records returned for your search, I would suggest that you try only the first three characters of the FCC ID number which is the grantee code. If this still doesn't work, you may have an older piece of equipment that may not be in this database, fear not because the FCC has a database for older equipment located right here, along with tips and search examples.
