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 parameter "Supplier Device Package" in electronic components refers to the physical packaging or housing of the component as provided by the supplier. It specifies the form factor, dimensions, and layout of the component, which are crucial for compatibility and integration into electronic circuits and systems. The supplier device package information typically includes details such as the package type (e.g., DIP, SOP, QFN), number of pins, pitch, and overall size, allowing engineers and designers to select the appropriate component for their specific application requirements. Understanding the supplier device package is essential for proper component selection, placement, and soldering during the manufacturing process to ensure optimal performance and reliability of the electronic system.

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, "tolerance" refers to the acceptable deviation or variation from the specified or ideal value of a particular parameter, such as resistance, capacitance, or voltage. It indicates the range within which the actual value of the component can fluctuate while still being considered acceptable for use in a circuit. Tolerance is typically expressed as a percentage or a specific value and is important for ensuring the accuracy and reliability of electronic devices. Components with tighter tolerances are more precise but may also be more expensive. It is crucial to consider tolerance when selecting components to ensure proper functionality and performance of the circuit.

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 parameter "Configuration" in electronic components refers to the specific arrangement or setup of the components within a circuit or system. It encompasses how individual elements are interconnected and their physical layout. Configuration can affect the functionality, performance, and efficiency of the electronic system, and may influence factors such as signal flow, impedance, and power distribution. Understanding the configuration is essential for design, troubleshooting, and optimizing electronic devices.

Current - Reverse Leakage @ Vr is a parameter that describes the amount of current that flows in the reverse direction through a diode or other semiconductor component when a reverse voltage (Vr) is applied across it. This leakage current is typically very small, but it is important to consider in electronic circuits as it can affect the overall performance and reliability of the component. The reverse leakage current is influenced by factors such as the material properties of the semiconductor, temperature, and the magnitude of the reverse voltage applied. Manufacturers provide this parameter in datasheets to help engineers and designers understand the behavior of the component in reverse bias conditions.

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.

Impedance-Max is a parameter in electronic components that specifies the maximum impedance that the component can handle without experiencing damage or malfunction. Impedance refers to the opposition that a circuit presents to the flow of alternating current. In the context of electronic components, Impedance-Max is crucial for ensuring proper performance and preventing overloading or overheating. Designers and engineers use this parameter to select components that are compatible with the impedance requirements of a circuit, helping to maintain the integrity and reliability of the overall system.

The parameter "Voltage - Zener (Nom) (Vz)" refers to the nominal voltage of a Zener diode, which is a type of semiconductor device that allows current to flow in the reverse direction when a certain voltage threshold is reached. The Zener voltage, denoted as Vz, is the voltage at which the Zener diode begins to conduct in the reverse direction. This parameter is crucial in determining the specific voltage regulation characteristics of the Zener diode in a circuit. It is important to select a Zener diode with a Vz value that matches the desired voltage regulation requirements of the circuit to ensure proper functionality.

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