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.

Shell Material, Finish refers to the type of material and the surface treatment used for the outer casing of electronic components, such as connectors and enclosures. The material can affect durability, conductivity, and electromagnetic shielding, while the finish relates to the surface texture and coatings that may enhance corrosion resistance, aesthetic appeal, or mechanical performance. Common materials include plastic, metal, and composites, with finishes that may vary from anodized aluminum to painted surfaces or protective coatings. This parameter is crucial for ensuring the component's functionality and longevity in its intended application.

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, 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.

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

Connector Type in electronic components refers to the specific design and configuration of the connector used to establish electrical connections between different devices or components. This parameter describes the physical shape, size, and layout of the connector, as well as the number and arrangement of pins or contacts. Common connector types include USB, HDMI, RJ45, and D-sub connectors, each serving different purposes and applications. Understanding the connector type is crucial for ensuring compatibility and proper functionality when connecting electronic devices together.

Contact Type in electronic components refers to the specific design and configuration of the electrical contacts used to establish connections between components or devices. The contact type determines how the electrical signals are transmitted between the components, and it can vary based on factors such as the application requirements, signal type, and environmental conditions. Common contact types include pin contacts, socket contacts, surface mount contacts, and wire-to-board contacts. Understanding the contact type is crucial for ensuring proper connectivity and reliable performance in electronic systems.

In electronic components, the term "Flange Feature" refers to a specific design element that involves a protruding rim or edge around the perimeter of the component. This flange feature serves multiple purposes, such as providing mechanical support, facilitating mounting or installation, enhancing stability, and improving heat dissipation. The flange feature can vary in size, shape, and material depending on the specific requirements of the component and its intended application. Overall, the presence of a flange feature in electronic components helps ensure proper functionality, durability, and ease of integration within electronic systems.

Connector Style in electronic components refers to the physical design and configuration of the connector used to establish electrical connections between different devices or components. This parameter describes the shape, size, and layout of the connector, as well as the method of attachment and the number of pins or contacts it has. Different connector styles are used for various applications, such as board-to-board connections, cable-to-board connections, or wire-to-board connections. The connector style plays a crucial role in determining the compatibility and functionality of electronic devices, as it ensures proper signal transmission and power delivery between interconnected components.

The shell of a circular connector is a cylinder available in incremental sizes starting as small as . 375 diameter up to 3.25 diameter and larger.

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