- Part Status
Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.
Active - Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL)
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a standardized rating that indicates the susceptibility of electronic components, particularly semiconductors, to moisture-induced damage during storage and the soldering process, defining the allowable exposure time to ambient conditions before they require special handling or baking to prevent failures
3 (168 Hours) - HTS Code
HTS (Harmonized Tariff Schedule) codes are product classification codes between 8-1 digits. The first six digits are an HS code, and the countries of import assign the subsequent digits to provide additional classification. U.S. HTS codes are 1 digits and are administered by the U.S. International Trade Commission.
8542.39.00.01 - Voltage - Supply
Voltage - Supply refers to the range of voltage levels that an electronic component or circuit is designed to operate with. It indicates the minimum and maximum supply voltage that can be applied for the device to function properly. Providing supply voltages outside this range can lead to malfunction, damage, or reduced performance. This parameter is critical for ensuring compatibility between different components in a circuit.
3.3V - Peak Reflow Temperature (Cel)
Peak Reflow Temperature (Cel) is a parameter that specifies the maximum temperature at which an electronic component can be exposed during the reflow soldering process. Reflow soldering is a common method used to attach electronic components to a circuit board. The Peak Reflow Temperature is crucial because it ensures that the component is not damaged or degraded during the soldering process. Exceeding the specified Peak Reflow Temperature can lead to issues such as component failure, reduced performance, or even permanent damage to the component. It is important for manufacturers and assemblers to adhere to the recommended Peak Reflow Temperature to ensure the reliability and functionality of the electronic components.
NOT SPECIFIED - Time@Peak Reflow Temperature-Max (s)
Time@Peak Reflow Temperature-Max (s) refers to the maximum duration that an electronic component can be exposed to the peak reflow temperature during the soldering process, which is crucial for ensuring reliable solder joint formation without damaging the component.
NOT SPECIFIED - Output Type
The "Output Type" parameter in electronic components refers to the type of signal or data that is produced by the component as an output. This parameter specifies the nature of the output signal, such as analog or digital, and can also include details about the voltage levels, current levels, frequency, and other characteristics of the output signal. Understanding the output type of a component is crucial for ensuring compatibility with other components in a circuit or system, as well as for determining how the output signal can be utilized or processed further. In summary, the output type parameter provides essential information about the nature of the signal that is generated by the electronic component as its output.
I2C - Analog IC - Other Type
Analog IC - Other Type is a parameter used to categorize electronic components that are integrated circuits (ICs) designed for analog signal processing but do not fall into more specific subcategories such as amplifiers, comparators, or voltage regulators. These ICs may include specialized analog functions such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), voltage references, or signal conditioning circuits. They are typically used in various applications where precise analog signal processing is required, such as in audio equipment, instrumentation, communication systems, and industrial control systems. Manufacturers provide detailed specifications for these components to help engineers select the most suitable IC for their specific design requirements.
ANALOG CIRCUIT - Sensor Type
In electronic components, the parameter "Sensor Type" refers to the specific type of sensor technology used in a particular component to detect and measure physical phenomena such as light, temperature, pressure, motion, or proximity. Different sensor types utilize various principles and mechanisms to convert the detected input into an electrical signal that can be processed by the electronic component. Common sensor types include photodiodes, thermistors, accelerometers, and proximity sensors, each designed for specific applications and environments. Understanding the sensor type is crucial for selecting the right component for a given task and ensuring accurate and reliable sensing capabilities in electronic systems.
Digital, Infrared (IR) - Sensing Method
The sensing method in electronic components refers to the technique or mechanism used to detect and measure physical phenomena such as temperature, pressure, light, or motion. This includes a variety of technologies such as resistive, capacitive, inductive, and optical sensing methods. The choice of sensing method affects the accuracy, response time, and application suitability of the electronic component. It plays a crucial role in determining how effectively a device can interact with and interpret its environment.
Infrared (IR) - Accuracy - Highest (Lowest)
In electronic components, "Accuracy - Highest (Lowest)" refers to the range within which the actual value of a parameter can deviate from the ideal or specified value. The term "Highest" indicates the upper limit of this range, while "Lowest" indicates the lower limit. For example, if a component has an accuracy of ±5%, the highest accuracy would mean that the actual value could be within 5% above the specified value, while the lowest accuracy would mean it could be within 5% below the specified value. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the reliability and performance of electronic devices by determining how closely the component's output matches the desired value.
±2.5°C - Sensing Temperature - Remote
Sensing Temperature - Remote refers to the capability of electronic components to measure temperature at a location that is distant from the main control unit or sensor. This parameter typically involves the use of external temperature probes or sensors that are connected to a monitoring device, allowing for accurate temperature readings in environments that are difficult to access. Remote sensing is crucial in applications like HVAC systems, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring, where precise temperature data is needed from various locations.
0°C~80°C IR - Features
In the context of electronic components, the term "Features" typically refers to the specific characteristics or functionalities that a particular component offers. These features can vary depending on the type of component and its intended use. For example, a microcontroller may have features such as built-in memory, analog-to-digital converters, and communication interfaces like UART or SPI.When evaluating electronic components, understanding their features is crucial in determining whether they meet the requirements of a particular project or application. Engineers and designers often look at features such as operating voltage, speed, power consumption, and communication protocols to ensure compatibility and optimal performance.In summary, the "Features" parameter in electronic components describes the unique attributes and capabilities that differentiate one component from another, helping users make informed decisions when selecting components for their electronic designs.
