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

The "Base Part Number" (BPN) in electronic components serves a similar purpose to the "Base Product Number." It refers to the primary identifier for a component that captures the essential characteristics shared by a group of similar components. The BPN provides a fundamental way to reference a family or series of components without specifying all the variations and specific details.

The parameter "Function" in electronic components refers to the specific role or purpose that the component serves within an electronic circuit. It defines how the component interacts with other elements, influences the flow of electrical signals, and contributes to the overall behavior of the system. Functions can include amplification, signal processing, switching, filtering, and energy storage, among others. Understanding the function of each component is essential for designing effective and efficient electronic systems.

Utilized IC / Part is a parameter that refers to the extent to which an integrated circuit (IC) or electronic component is being used or consumed within a system or application. It typically indicates the percentage or ratio of the component's capabilities that are being utilized in a given scenario. This parameter is important for assessing the efficiency and performance of the component, as well as for determining if the component is being underutilized or overburdened in a particular application. Monitoring and optimizing the utilization of ICs and electronic parts can help improve overall system reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.

Supplied Contents in electronic components refers to the items or materials that are included with the component when it is purchased. These contents can vary depending on the specific component and manufacturer, but typically include things like user manuals, installation guides, cables, connectors, and any additional accessories needed for the component to function properly. The supplied contents are important for ensuring that the user has everything they need to set up and use the electronic component correctly. It is recommended to carefully check the supplied contents upon receiving a new electronic component to make sure that nothing is missing and to familiarize oneself with the included materials for optimal use.

An Evaluation Kit is a collection of hardware and software components designed to help engineers and developers assess and test the functionality of a particular electronic component or system. It typically includes a development board, sample code, utilities, and documentation to facilitate development and prototype testing. Evaluation Kits enable users to quickly prototype applications, evaluate performance characteristics, and determine compatibility with other systems. They are commonly used in the design and development phases of electronic projects to simplify the integration of complex components.

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