What is the Surface Mount

having leads that are designed to be soldered on the side of a circuit board that the body of the component is mounted on.

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.

What is the Terminal Position

In electronic components, the term "Terminal Position" refers to the physical location of the connection points on the component where external electrical connections can be made. These connection points, known as terminals, are typically used to attach wires, leads, or other components to the main body of the electronic component. The terminal position is important for ensuring proper connectivity and functionality of the component within a circuit. It is often specified in technical datasheets or component specifications to help designers and engineers understand how to properly integrate the component into their circuit designs.

What is the Reach Compliance Code

Reach Compliance Code refers to a designation indicating that electronic components meet the requirements set by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation in the European Union. It signifies that the manufacturer has assessed and managed the chemical substances within the components to ensure safety and environmental protection. This code is vital for compliance with regulations aimed at minimizing risks associated with hazardous substances in electronic products.

What is the JESD-30 Code

JESD-30 Code refers to a standardized descriptive designation system established by JEDEC for semiconductor-device packages. This system provides a systematic method for generating designators that convey essential information about the package's physical characteristics, such as size and shape, which aids in component identification and selection. By using JESD-30 codes, manufacturers and engineers can ensure consistency and clarity in the specification of semiconductor packages across various applications and industries.
