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

Accessory Type in electronic components refers to additional items or attachments that enhance the functionality or usability of primary components. These can include connectors, adapters, mounting hardware, and protective casings. Accessory Types are essential for ensuring compatibility and achieving optimal performance in electronic systems.

The parameter "REACH SVHC" in electronic components refers to the compliance with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation regarding Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). SVHCs are substances that may have serious effects on human health or the environment, and their use is regulated under REACH to ensure their safe handling and minimize their impact.Manufacturers of electronic components need to declare if their products contain any SVHCs above a certain threshold concentration and provide information on the safe use of these substances. This information allows customers to make informed decisions about the potential risks associated with using the components and take appropriate measures to mitigate any hazards.Ensuring compliance with REACH SVHC requirements is essential for electronics manufacturers to meet regulatory standards, protect human health and the environment, and maintain transparency in their supply chain. It also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices in the electronics industry.

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