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.

The "Pbfree Code" parameter in electronic components refers to the code or marking used to indicate that the component is lead-free. Lead (Pb) is a toxic substance that has been widely used in electronic components for many years, but due to environmental concerns, there has been a shift towards lead-free alternatives. The Pbfree Code helps manufacturers and users easily identify components that do not contain lead, ensuring compliance with regulations and promoting environmentally friendly practices. It is important to pay attention to the Pbfree Code when selecting electronic components to ensure they meet the necessary requirements for lead-free applications.

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

MIL Conformance refers to the compliance of electronic components with military standards set by the Department of Defense. These standards define rigorous requirements for reliability, performance, and durability under extreme conditions. Components that meet MIL Conformance are often used in defense, aerospace, and other critical applications where failure is not an option. Adherence to these standards ensures that the components can withstand harsh environments, such as extreme temperatures, vibrations, and humidity.

DIN Conformance refers to the compliance of an electronic component with the standards set by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), which is the German Institute for Standardization. DIN standards cover a wide range of technical specifications and requirements for various products, including electronic components. When a component is labeled as DIN-conformant, it means that it meets the specific criteria outlined by DIN for factors such as dimensions, materials, performance, and safety. Ensuring DIN conformance helps to guarantee interoperability, quality, and reliability of electronic components in various applications and industries. Manufacturers often adhere to DIN standards to demonstrate the quality and reliability of their products to customers and to ensure compatibility with other DIN-compliant devices.

IEC Conformance refers to the compliance of electronic components with standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). These standards ensure that the components meet specific safety, performance, and interoperability criteria. Adhering to IEC conformance helps manufacturers produce reliable and compatible products, facilitating international trade and promoting consumer safety. Components that conform to IEC standards are often preferred in global markets due to their quality assurance and regulatory acceptance.

Connector Support Type refers to the specific design or configuration of a connector that is used to support and secure electronic components or devices. This parameter describes the physical characteristics and features of the connector that enable it to effectively connect, hold, and provide stability to the components it is designed for. The support type may include factors such as the shape, size, material, mounting method, and locking mechanism of the connector, all of which contribute to its ability to securely hold the components in place and maintain a reliable electrical connection. Understanding the connector support type is important for selecting the appropriate connector that will ensure proper functionality and durability of the electronic system.

In the context of electronic components, the parameter "Assembly Item Name" typically refers to the specific name or identifier assigned to a particular electronic component within an assembly or system. This name helps to uniquely identify the component and distinguish it from others in the assembly. It is often used in documentation, inventory management, and during the assembly process to ensure accurate identification and tracking of components. The Assembly Item Name may include information such as the manufacturer's part number, a specific model or version designation, or any other relevant details that help identify the component within the assembly.

Wire Size (Min) refers to the minimum gauge of wire that can safely be used in electronic components or circuits without risking overheating or failure. It is determined by factors such as current carrying capacity, length of the wire, and insulation type. Using a wire size smaller than specified can lead to increased resistance, voltage drop, and potential fire hazards. Properly selecting the wire size ensures efficient performance and safety in electrical applications.

Wire Size (Max) refers to the largest gauge of wire that can be safely used in conjunction with an electronic component. It is a specification that indicates the maximum diameter or cross-sectional area of the wire that connects to the component terminals. Using a wire size larger than the specified maximum can lead to difficulties in connection, potential damage to the component, or undesired performance issues. Ensuring the correct wire size is essential for optimal conductivity and heat dissipation in electronic applications.

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