Semiconductor package is a carrier / shell used to contain and cover one or more semiconductor components or integrated circuits. The material of the shell can be metal, plastic, glass or ceramic.

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

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.

Contact finish refers to the surface coating or treatment applied to the electrical contacts of electronic components. This finish is crucial for ensuring reliable electrical connections and preventing corrosion or oxidation of the contacts. Common contact finishes include gold, silver, tin, and nickel, each offering different levels of conductivity, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. The choice of contact finish depends on the specific application requirements, such as operating conditions, cost considerations, and compatibility with other components in the circuit. Selecting the appropriate contact finish is essential for maintaining the performance and longevity of electronic devices.

Contact termination in electronic components refers to the method used to connect the component to a circuit or system. It is the point where the component's electrical connection is terminated or connected to the external circuit. Common contact termination methods include soldering, wire bonding, press-fit connectors, and surface mount technology (SMT). The choice of contact termination method depends on factors such as the type of component, the application requirements, and the manufacturing process. Proper contact termination is crucial for ensuring reliable electrical connections and overall performance of the electronic component.

The parameter "Pin or Socket" in electronic components refers to the method of connecting a component to a circuit or board. Pins are metal protrusions that insert into holes on a circuit board, creating a secure connection. Sockets, on the other hand, are receptacles that allow components to be easily inserted and removed without soldering. This distinction impacts the ease of replacement, the reliability of connections, and the overall design flexibility of electronic assemblies.

Contact Finish Thickness refers to the measurement of the layer of conductive material applied to the surfaces of electrical contacts in electronic components. This thickness is critical as it influences the electrical conductivity, solderability, wear resistance, and overall performance of the connection. The materials used for the contact finish can include gold, silver, or other metals, and the specified thickness is designed to ensure reliable operation over the component's lifespan.

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