refers to the protective housing that encases an electronic component, providing mechanical support, electrical connections, and thermal management.

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.

The actuator type in electronic components refers to the specific mechanism or technology used to convert electrical energy into physical motion or action. Common actuator types include electric motors, solenoids, piezoelectric actuators, and hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders. Each type has its unique characteristics, advantages, and applications, allowing them to be utilized in diverse systems such as robotics, automation, and control processes. The choice of actuator type often influences the performance, efficiency, and functionality of the overall system.

The parameter "Circuit" in electronic components refers to the interconnected arrangement of various electronic elements such as resistors, capacitors, inductors, and active devices like transistors. It defines the path through which electric current flows and establishes the operational behavior of the components within that system. Circuits can be classified as analog or digital, depending on the type of signals they handle, and can vary in complexity from simple series or parallel configurations to intricate designs used in advanced applications.

Illumination in electronic components refers to the amount of light or brightness that is emitted by a device or component. It is a measure of how well the component can produce or emit light, typically in the form of LEDs or displays. The illumination parameter is important in determining the visibility and clarity of the information displayed by the component, as well as its overall performance in low-light conditions. Higher illumination levels generally result in better visibility and readability of the displayed information, making it a crucial factor in the design and functionality of electronic devices.

A valve actuator is the mechanism for opening and closing a valve. Manually operated valves require someone in attendance to adjust them using a direct or geared mechanism attached to the valve stem. Power-operated actuators, using gas pressure, hydraulic pressure or electricity, allow a valve to be adjusted remotely, or allow rapid operation of large valves. Power-operated valve actuators may be the final elements of an automatic control loop which automatically regulates some flow, level or other process. Actuators may be only to open and close the valve, or may allow intermediate positioning; some valve actuators include switches or other ways to remotely indicate the position of the valve.

In electronic components, the parameter "Outline" refers to the physical dimensions and shape of the component. It includes details such as the length, width, height, and overall form of the component. The outline is important for determining how the component will fit into a circuit board or system, as well as for ensuring compatibility with other components and devices. Manufacturers typically provide outline drawings or specifications to help designers and engineers understand the physical characteristics of the component. Paying attention to the outline parameter is crucial for proper installation, assembly, and functionality of electronic components in a circuit or system.

Contact Rating @ Voltage refers to the maximum electrical load that a switch or relay can handle at a specified voltage without risking damage or failure. It defines both the current and voltage levels at which the device can operate safely and reliably under specified conditions. This rating is crucial for selecting appropriate components in electronic circuits to ensure long-lasting performance and prevent system malfunctions.

Switch Height in electronic components refers to the physical distance that a switch travels when it is actuated or pressed. This parameter is important in determining the tactile feedback and feel of the switch when it is used. A shorter switch height typically results in a more responsive and quicker actuation, while a taller switch height may provide a more deliberate and pronounced tactile feedback. Manufacturers often specify the switch height in their product datasheets to help users understand the characteristics of the switch and choose the right component for their application.

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