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 parameter "Shape" refers to the physical form or outline of the component. It describes the external appearance of the component, including its dimensions, size, and overall structure. The shape of an electronic component can vary widely depending on its function and design requirements. Common shapes include rectangular, cylindrical, square, and circular, among others. The shape of a component is an important consideration in the design and layout of electronic circuits, as it can impact factors such as space utilization, heat dissipation, and ease of assembly.

The operating temperature is the range of ambient temperature within which a power supply, or any other electrical equipment, operate in. This ranges from a minimum operating temperature, to a peak or maximum operating temperature, outside which, the power supply may fail.

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 "Storage/Refrigeration Temperature" in electronic components refers to the recommended temperature range at which the components should be stored to maintain their integrity and functionality. This parameter indicates the temperature limits within which the components can be safely stored without risking damage or degradation. Storage temperature is crucial for preserving the performance and reliability of electronic components over time, especially for sensitive components such as integrated circuits and semiconductors. Refrigeration temperature may be specified for certain components that require lower temperatures to prevent degradation or prolong shelf life. It is important to adhere to the recommended storage/refrigeration temperature guidelines to ensure the longevity and proper functioning of electronic components.

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.
