 The mechanical portions are the same in the '04 and '05 types, but they differ in the control [[electronic]]s in them. Both types include an electro-mechanical punch (a Roytron Model 500, modified by DEC), and a photo-electric reader (manufactured by DEC), which are completely separate, but housed in the same frame, and share a [[power supply]].

 There are also reader-only and punch-only models: the reader-punch model of the PC04 is the '''PC04B''', the reader-only model is the '''PC04R''', and the punch-only model is the '''PC04P'''; the reader-punch model of the PC05 is the '''PC05C''', the reader-only model is the '''PC05R''', and the punch-only model is the '''PC05P'''.
 All the models listed above come in 50Hz and 60Hz versions (which are identical except for the punch pulley; so there are no separate 50Hz versions of the reader-only models).
 There is also a [[backplane]] to hold the control electronics, which are a number of [[FLIP CHIP]]s. The backplane in the PC04 has 8 slots; that in the PC05 has 12 slots. (In addition, there is also a [[device controller|controller]] in the computer.)

 (There is disagreement between the May 1973 revision of the manual, DEC-00-PC0A-D, and the April 1972 revision of the engineering drawings as to the version numbers. The ones above are from the drawings, which also do not show a punch-only model for the -8/I, with the reader-only version for that being the PC04-RB; the manual claims the -8/I reader-only and punch-only versions are the PC04-R and PC04-P, which the prints list as being for the -8 and -8/S.)
 There is also a special version of the reader/punch model for the [[KI10]], the PC04-CL. The 50Hz versions of all of these differ in the last letter, which is incremented; e.g. the KI10 50Hz version is the -CM.
