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

Ingress Protection rating (or just IP rating), is an international standard (IEC 60529) used to rate the degree of protection or sealing effectiveness in electrical enclosures against intrusion of objects, water, dust or accidental contact. It corresponds to the European standard EN 60529.

given in nominal sizes, not in the actual measurement.

The parameter "Cable Diameter" in electronic components refers to the physical measurement of the diameter of a cable or wire used in electronic circuits or systems. It is an important specification as it determines the size of the cable and its ability to carry electrical signals or power efficiently. The cable diameter is typically measured in millimeters or inches and is crucial for ensuring proper fit, insulation, and overall performance of the electronic component. Manufacturers provide cable diameter specifications to help users select the appropriate cables for their specific applications, taking into consideration factors such as current carrying capacity, voltage rating, and environmental conditions.

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