We have a couple of those, but not every single one I recall:

  • the caesium hyperfine frequency ΔνCs
  • the speed of light in vacuum c
  • the Planck constant h
  • the elementary charge e
  • the Boltzmann constant k
  • the Avogadro constant NA, and
  • the luminous efficacy of a defined visible radiation Kcd

Elementary charge and speed of light are used too in several places in SI and NonSI classes.

Thanks @PeterC-DLS, with 2.2 this constant graduated to SI marking it for removal in NonSI in a future version.
