The "Mounting Type" in electronic components refers to the method used to attach or connect a component to a circuit board or other substrate, such as through-hole, surface-mount, or panel mount.

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

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.

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

In electronic components, the parameter "Orientation" refers to the specific alignment or positioning of the component with respect to its intended installation or operation. This parameter is crucial for ensuring proper functionality and performance of the component within a circuit or system. Orientation may include factors such as the physical orientation of the component on a circuit board, the direction of current flow through the component, or the alignment of specific features or terminals for correct connection. Manufacturers often provide orientation guidelines in datasheets or technical specifications to help users correctly install and use the component. Paying attention to the orientation of electronic components is essential to prevent errors, ensure reliability, and optimize the overall performance of electronic devices.

the angle at which a display can be viewed with acceptable visual performance.

Power - Max is a parameter that specifies the maximum amount of power that an electronic component can handle without being damaged. It is typically measured in watts and indicates the upper limit of power that can be safely supplied to the component. Exceeding the maximum power rating can lead to overheating, malfunction, or permanent damage to the component. It is important to consider the power-max rating when designing circuits or systems to ensure proper operation and longevity of the electronic components.

Optoelectronic Device Type refers to the classification of electronic components that can both detect and emit light. These devices convert electrical signals into light or vice versa, making them essential for applications such as optical communication, sensing, and display technologies. Common types of optoelectronic devices include light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photodiodes, phototransistors, and laser diodes. Understanding the optoelectronic device type is crucial for selecting the appropriate component for a specific application based on factors such as wavelength, power output, and sensitivity.

Voltage - Collector Emitter Breakdown (Max) is a parameter that specifies the maximum voltage that can be applied between the collector and emitter terminals of a transistor or other semiconductor device before it breaks down and allows excessive current to flow. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the component within its specified limits. Exceeding the maximum breakdown voltage can lead to permanent damage or failure of the device. Designers and engineers must carefully consider this parameter when selecting components for their circuits to prevent potential issues and ensure proper functionality.

The parameter "Current - Dark (Id) (Max)" in electronic components refers to the maximum current that flows through a device when it is in a dark or non-illuminated state. This parameter is commonly associated with optoelectronic components such as photodiodes, phototransistors, and photovoltaic cells. It indicates the leakage current or dark current that exists in the absence of any external light stimulus. A higher value for this parameter indicates a higher level of dark current, which can impact the performance and efficiency of the component in certain applications. It is important to consider this parameter when designing circuits or systems that rely on the precise control of light-induced currents.

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