I thought I'd messed up the USB lead of my HP 1020 laserjet , measuring
voltages etc, trying to learn about USB function. Turned out I must have
strained a USB A to B adaptor and nothing wrong with the printer. Is one
rule of thumb (for a suspect USB connection) that a maximum USB insertion
force of 250 gram is too low and above 450 gram is generally good ? ( I
later went around a number of leads /connectors, adaptors with the kitchen
scales).
Anyway inside the printer there were 6 unmarked 2 land SMD lumps marked on
the overlay as E1 to E6 , is E a designation for fuse?, all were 0 ohms
across. There were 2 unmarked green 2 land lumps on the USB lines marked VR
on the overlay, bidirectional transient suppressors ?
and 2 SMD contacting the USB lines marked CR, presumably rectifiers, but can
anyone identify with more certainty
4 land device marked topmark D132
found on topcode listings
D13 AZZ23C8V2 Diode SOT23 dual zener 8.2V 0.3W, 3 pin
related?

2 land device marked WU1
found
WU BZX284-B4V3 Phi I SOD110 0.4W zener 4.3V E24 �2%, 2 pin
related ?

Generally do truncated 3 and 4 character topcodes have any relation to the
full code ?

'E' is often used to indicate a connection off the board. They are
probably there for automated testing in a 'Bed of Nails' (AKA: Pogo
Pins) test fixture during the manufacturing process. More and more
manufacturing is moving to this method where boards are handled by
machines from the time the blanks are loaded into a pick & place
machine, till they are ready to be installed in a product.

No. They match the component's location on the schematics and B.O.M.

The "E" were not all the same physical size, one was quite large. Did not
try a probe on the central material but matt black , ie non metalic. If they
were in fact inductors what subclass ?, there were other items marked "L"
for inductors on the same board

So my proper Googling for D132 ,in this case, should be of form

"D132" AND "datasheet" "part marking" OR "top code" OR "topcode" OR "top
mark" OR "topmark" OR "marking"

in the searchbox

IMHO, adding "filetype:pdf" in place of "datasheet" would be better:

Try this:
http://www.google.com/search?q=diode+D132+marking+filetype%3Apdf

BTW, I have no answer to your question regarding wildcards. It appears
that Google parses the asterisk instead of searching for it.
