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.

refers to the protective housing that encases an electronic component, providing mechanical support, electrical connections, and thermal management.

Parts can have many statuses as they progress through the configuration, analysis, review, and approval stages.

Termination in electronic components refers to the practice of matching the impedance of a circuit to prevent signal reflections and ensure maximum power transfer. It involves the use of resistors or other components at the end of transmission lines or connections. Proper termination is crucial in high-frequency applications to maintain signal integrity and reduce noise.

The Maximum Operating Temperature is the maximum body temperature at which the thermistor is designed to operate for extended periods of time with acceptable stability of its electrical characteristics.

Military Standard in electronic components refers to a set of guidelines and specifications established by the military for the design, manufacturing, and testing of electronic devices used in military applications. These standards ensure that the components meet specific requirements for reliability, durability, performance, and environmental conditions. Components that meet military standards are often more rugged and capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions such as extreme temperatures, vibrations, and electromagnetic interference. Adhering to military standards helps to ensure the quality and consistency of electronic components used in critical military systems and applications.

Contact Gender in electronic components refers to the physical characteristics of the electrical contacts within a connector or terminal block. It indicates whether the contact is male or female, which determines how the connectors can be mated together. Male contacts typically have protruding pins or plugs, while female contacts have receptacles or sockets to receive the male contacts. Matching the correct contact genders is crucial for ensuring proper electrical connections and preventing damage to the components. Manufacturers often specify the contact gender of their components to facilitate compatibility and ease of use in electronic systems.

The parameter "Contact Style" in electronic components refers to the specific design and arrangement of the contact points that enable electrical connection in various devices. It dictates how components interface with each other, affecting factors such as reliability, durability, and performance. Different contact styles can include configurations like pin, socket, blade, or surface mount, each designed to cater to specific applications and requirements in circuit assembly.

Wire/Cable Type refers to the specific classification or category of wire or cable used in electronic components, which determines its characteristics, such as size, material, insulation, and intended application. Common types include stranded or solid conductors, and variations like coaxial, twisted pair, and ribbon cables. Each type is designed to meet specific requirements for electrical conductivity, flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Selecting the appropriate wire or cable type is crucial for ensuring the performance and reliability of electronic devices and systems.

Government Qualified refers to electronic components that meet specific standards and requirements set by government agencies for use in military, aerospace, and other critical applications. These components undergo rigorous testing and evaluation to ensure reliability and performance under extreme conditions. Compliance with Government Qualified standards often involves additional documentation and traceability to guarantee the integrity and consistency of the components used in sensitive projects.

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