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

Shielding in electronic components refers to the practice of enclosing or surrounding sensitive electronic circuits or components with a conductive material to protect them from electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI). The shielding material acts as a barrier that blocks or absorbs unwanted electromagnetic signals, preventing them from affecting the performance of the electronic device. Shielding can be achieved using materials such as metal enclosures, conductive coatings, or shielding tapes. Proper shielding is essential in electronic design to ensure the reliable operation of electronic devices in environments where electromagnetic interference is present.

Construction in electronic components refers to the design and materials used in the manufacturing of the components. It encompasses the physical structure, arrangement, and integration of various parts like substrates, conductors, and insulators. The construction impacts the performance, reliability, and thermal properties of the component, influencing how it interacts with electrical signals and other components in a circuit. Different construction techniques can also affect the size, weight, and cost of the electronic component.

a measurement of?wire?diameter.?This determines the amount of electric current the wire can safely carry, as well as its electrical resistance and weight.

Connector Support Type refers to the specific design or configuration of a connector that is used to support and secure electronic components or devices. This parameter describes the physical characteristics and features of the connector that enable it to effectively connect, hold, and provide stability to the components it is designed for. The support type may include factors such as the shape, size, material, mounting method, and locking mechanism of the connector, all of which contribute to its ability to securely hold the components in place and maintain a reliable electrical connection. Understanding the connector support type is important for selecting the appropriate connector that will ensure proper functionality and durability of the electronic system.

A nautical unit of measure equal to one tenth of a nautical mile or approximately 1 fathoms.

In electronic components, "Stranding" refers to the number of individual wire strands that make up a single conductor within a cable or wire. The stranding parameter is important because it affects the flexibility, durability, and electrical performance of the cable. Cables with more strands are typically more flexible and resistant to breakage from bending or twisting, making them suitable for applications where frequent movement or flexing is required. Additionally, the stranding of a cable can impact its electrical characteristics such as resistance and current-carrying capacity. Different stranding configurations are used to meet specific requirements for different applications in electronics and electrical engineering.

Conductor finish refers to the surface treatment applied to the metallic conductors in electronic components. This finish serves to enhance conductivity, improve solderability, and protect against oxidation and corrosion. Different types of finishes, such as gold, silver, tin, or nickel, can be used depending on the specific requirements of the application, including factors like cost, performance, and reliability. Proper conductor finish is essential for ensuring long-term functionality and effectiveness of electronic devices.

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