Terminal type or emulation specifies how your computer and the host computer to which you are connected exchange information.

Depth Behind Panel is a parameter that refers to the distance between the back of an electronic component and the surface of the panel it is mounted on. This measurement is important for ensuring that the component fits properly within the device or system it is being installed in. It helps determine how much space is needed behind the panel to accommodate the component and any necessary connections or wiring. Manufacturers provide this specification to assist designers and engineers in planning and designing the layout of electronic components within a system.

In electronic components, the parameter "Contacts" refers to the physical points of connection on a device where electrical signals are transmitted or received. Contacts are typically metal components that come into direct contact with other conductive materials to establish an electrical connection. The quality of contacts, including their material, design, and cleanliness, can significantly impact the performance and reliability of the electronic component. Proper maintenance and care of contacts are essential to ensure optimal electrical conductivity and prevent issues such as signal loss, interference, or malfunction.

IP (or "Ingress Protection") ratings are defined in international standard EN 6529 (British BS EN 6529:1992, European IEC 659:1989). They are?used to define levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against intrusion from foreign bodies?(tools, dirt etc) and moisture.
