In electronic components, the parameter "Material" refers to the substance or material used in the construction of the component. The choice of material is crucial as it directly impacts the component's performance, durability, and other characteristics. Different materials have varying properties such as conductivity, resistance to heat, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength, which determine how the component functions in a circuit. Common materials used in electronic components include metals like copper and aluminum, semiconductors like silicon, insulators like ceramics and plastics, and various alloys. Selecting the appropriate material is essential for designing reliable and efficient electronic components.

In electronic components, the "Series" refers to a group of products that share similar characteristics, designs, or functionalities, often produced by the same manufacturer. These components within a series typically have common specifications but may vary in terms of voltage, power, or packaging to meet different application needs. The series name helps identify and differentiate between various product lines within a manufacturer's catalog.

Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.

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

The parameter "Diameter - Outside" in electronic components refers to the measurement of the outer diameter of a component. This measurement is crucial for determining the physical size and compatibility of the component with other parts or equipment. It is typically specified in millimeters or inches and helps in ensuring proper fit and alignment during assembly or installation. Understanding the "Diameter - Outside" parameter is important for selecting the right components for a specific application and ensuring optimal performance and functionality of the electronic system.

Length - Below Head is a parameter used to describe the distance from the bottom of the head of a fastener, such as a screw or bolt, to the end of the threaded portion. This measurement is important in determining how deep the fastener can be inserted into a material while still allowing the head to sit flush or slightly below the surface. It helps ensure proper installation and secure fastening of components. Manufacturers provide this specification to assist users in selecting the appropriate fastener for their specific application based on the required depth and strength needed.

Thickness - Overall is a parameter that refers to the total thickness of an electronic component, typically measured from the bottom of the component to the highest point on top. This measurement is important for determining the overall size and profile of the component, which can impact its compatibility with other components or its fit within a specific device or circuit board. Manufacturers provide this specification to help designers and engineers ensure proper spacing and clearance when integrating the component into their electronic systems. Understanding the overall thickness of a component is crucial for proper installation and functionality within an electronic device.

RoHS means “Restriction of Certain Hazardous Substances” in the “Hazardous Substances Directive” in electrical and electronic equipment.
