Lifecycle Status refers to the current stage of an electronic component in its product life cycle, indicating whether it is active, obsolete, or transitioning between these states. An active status means the component is in production and available for purchase. An obsolete status indicates that the component is no longer being manufactured or supported, and manufacturers typically provide a limited time frame for support. Understanding the lifecycle status is crucial for design engineers to ensure continuity and reliability in their projects.

Contact plating (finish) provides corrosion protection for base metals and optimizes the mechanical and electrical properties of the contact interfaces.

ELV stands for Extra-Low Voltage, which refers to a specific voltage range used in electronic components and systems. This voltage range typically falls below 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC. ELV systems are designed to operate at lower voltages for safety reasons, as they pose a reduced risk of electric shock compared to higher voltage systems. Components and devices operating within the ELV range are commonly used in various applications, such as telecommunications, data centers, and low-power electronics. Adhering to ELV standards helps ensure the safety of both users and equipment in these systems.

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

Wire/Cable Gauge refers to the standardized measurement that defines the diameter of the wire or cable. It is typically measured using the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system, where a lower gauge number indicates a thicker wire. The gauge affects the wire's current-carrying capacity, resistance, and flexibility, making it an essential factor in electrical and electronic applications. Choosing the appropriate wire gauge is crucial for ensuring safety and performance in electrical systems.

The parameter "Pitch - Connector" in electronic components refers to the distance between the center of one pin or contact to the center of the adjacent pin or contact on a connector. It is a crucial specification that determines the compatibility and alignment of connectors with corresponding mating components. The pitch measurement is typically expressed in millimeters or inches and plays a significant role in ensuring proper electrical connections and signal integrity in electronic devices. Manufacturers provide detailed pitch specifications to help users select the right connectors for their specific applications.

Connector Type A refers to a specific configuration and design of electrical connectors used for interfacing electronic components. It is characterized by its standardized pin layout and physical dimensions, allowing for reliable and consistent connections between devices. Commonly found in applications such as USB connections, Connector Type A ensures proper alignment and connectivity, facilitating data transfer and power supply among various electronic systems.

Connector Type B refers to the specific type of connector used in electronic components to establish a connection between two devices or components. This parameter typically describes the physical shape, size, and configuration of the connector, as well as the method of attachment or mating with another connector. Connector Type B can vary widely depending on the application and industry, with different standards and specifications defining the characteristics of the connector. It is important to match Connector Type B correctly to ensure compatibility and proper functionality in electronic systems.

Cable pitch refers to the distance between the centerlines of adjacent conductors in a cable or electronic component. It is an important parameter that determines the spacing and arrangement of the conductors within the cable, which can impact signal integrity, crosstalk, and overall performance. A smaller cable pitch generally allows for higher data transmission rates and better signal quality, while a larger pitch may be more suitable for power applications where insulation and spacing are critical. Manufacturers often specify the cable pitch in their product datasheets to help users understand the design and capabilities of the component.

The term "Keyed" in electronic components refers to a design feature that ensures proper alignment and orientation during installation or connection. Keying mechanisms are used to prevent incorrect insertion or mating of components, which could lead to damage or malfunction. Keyed components typically have unique shapes, notches, or markings that must align correctly for proper assembly. This feature helps to ensure that components are installed in the correct position, improving overall system reliability and performance.

The parameter "REACH SVHC" in electronic components refers to the compliance with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation regarding Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC). SVHCs are substances that may have serious effects on human health or the environment, and their use is regulated under REACH to ensure their safe handling and minimize their impact.Manufacturers of electronic components need to declare if their products contain any SVHCs above a certain threshold concentration and provide information on the safe use of these substances. This information allows customers to make informed decisions about the potential risks associated with using the components and take appropriate measures to mitigate any hazards.Ensuring compliance with REACH SVHC requirements is essential for electronics manufacturers to meet regulatory standards, protect human health and the environment, and maintain transparency in their supply chain. It also demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices in the electronics industry.

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