The "Pbfree Code" parameter in electronic components refers to the code or marking used to indicate that the component is lead-free. Lead (Pb) is a toxic substance that has been widely used in electronic components for many years, but due to environmental concerns, there has been a shift towards lead-free alternatives. The Pbfree Code helps manufacturers and users easily identify components that do not contain lead, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting environmentally friendly practices. It is important to pay attention to the Pbfree Code when selecting electronic components to ensure they meet the necessary requirements for lead-free applications.

An ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) is an alphanumeric code used by the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security to identify and categorize electronic components and other dual-use items that may require an export license based on their technical characteristics and potential for military use.

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.

Inductance is a property of an electrical component that quantifies its ability to store energy in a magnetic field when electric current flows through it. It is measured in henries and indicates how much voltage is induced in the component as a result of a change in current. Inductance is an essential characteristic in coils, inductors, and transformers, affecting the behavior of electrical circuits, particularly in alternating current applications. Higher inductance values usually correlate with larger coils or more turns of wire in the component.

The Q Factor, also known as Quality Factor, is a parameter used to describe the efficiency of an electronic component or circuit. It is a dimensionless quantity that represents the ratio of energy stored in a component to the energy dissipated as heat or losses. A higher Q Factor indicates lower energy losses and better performance of the component or circuit. In practical terms, a higher Q Factor means that the component can store energy for longer periods and has a narrower bandwidth for a given resonant frequency. Components like inductors, capacitors, and resonant circuits are often characterized by their Q Factor to assess their performance and suitability for specific applications.

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