In electronic components, the "Series" refers to a group of products that share similar characteristics, designs, or functionalities, often produced by the same manufacturer. These components within a series typically have common specifications but may vary in terms of voltage, power, or packaging to meet different application needs. The series name helps identify and differentiate between various product lines within a manufacturer's catalog.

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, "Pitch" refers to the distance between the center of one pin or lead to the center of the adjacent pin or lead on a component, such as an integrated circuit (IC) or a connector. It is a crucial parameter as it determines the spacing and alignment of the pins or leads on a component, which in turn affects how the component can be mounted on a circuit board or connected to other components.The pitch measurement is typically expressed in millimeters (mm) or inches (in) and plays a significant role in determining the overall size and layout of a circuit board. Components with different pitches may require specific types of circuit boards or connectors to ensure proper alignment and connection. Designers must carefully consider the pitch of components when designing circuit layouts to ensure compatibility and proper functionality of the electronic system.

Current rating is the maximum current that a fuse will carry for an indefinite period without too much deterioration of the fuse element.

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

a group of products which fulfill a similar need for a market segment or market as a whole.

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.

Wire Gauge - AWG (American Wire Gauge) is a standardized system used to measure the diameter of electrical wire. It is commonly used in electronic components to specify the size of wire needed for a particular application. The AWG number indicates the wire's diameter, with lower numbers representing thicker wires and higher numbers representing thinner wires. Understanding the AWG of a wire is important for ensuring proper electrical conductivity, current-carrying capacity, and overall performance in electronic circuits.
