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.

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

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.

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

The parameter "Configuration" in electronic components refers to the specific arrangement or setup of the components within a circuit or system. It encompasses how individual elements are interconnected and their physical layout. Configuration can affect the functionality, performance, and efficiency of the electronic system, and may influence factors such as signal flow, impedance, and power distribution. Understanding the configuration is essential for design, troubleshooting, and optimizing electronic devices.

Voltage - Gate Trigger (Vgt) (Max) refers to the maximum voltage level required to trigger the gate of a semiconductor device, such as a thyristor or triac, into the conductive state. When the gate receives this voltage, it initiates the device's conduction, allowing current to flow between its anode and cathode. Exceeding this voltage can lead to unwanted behavior or damage to the component, making it a critical parameter in designing circuits that utilize these devices. Understanding Vgt is essential for ensuring proper operation and reliability in electronic applications.

The parameter "Current - Non Rep. Surge 50, 60Hz (Itsm)" in electronic components refers to the maximum non-repetitive surge current that a component can withstand without damage during a single surge event at frequencies of 50Hz or 60Hz. This parameter is important for assessing the robustness and reliability of the component in handling sudden spikes or surges in current that may occur in the electrical system. It helps in determining the level of protection needed for the component to ensure its longevity and proper functioning in various operating conditions. Manufacturers provide this specification to guide engineers and designers in selecting the appropriate components for their applications based on the expected surge current levels.

Current - Gate Trigger (Igt) (Max) refers to the maximum gate trigger current required to activate a semiconductor device, such as a thyristor or triac. It is the minimum current that must flow into the gate terminal to ensure that the device turns on and conducts current between its anode and cathode. Exceeding this value can lead to unnecessary power consumption, while insufficient current may prevent the device from turning on effectively. This parameter is crucial for circuit design, as it influences the selection of gate driving circuits.

The parameter "Current - Hold (Ih) (Max)" in electronic components refers to the maximum current required to maintain the component in a latched or on-state after it has been triggered. This parameter is commonly associated with relays, switches, and other devices that have a latching function. It is important because it determines the minimum current that must be supplied to keep the component in its activated state, ensuring reliable operation. Exceeding the maximum Ih value can lead to the component failing to hold its state, potentially causing malfunctions or disruptions in the circuit.

The parameter "Current - On State (It (RMS)) (Max)" refers to the maximum root mean square (RMS) current that an electronic component, typically a semiconductor device like a thyristor or a transistor, can handle while in the on state without sustaining damage. This value is crucial for ensuring that the component operates safely under load conditions. Exceeding this maximum rating can result in overheating, degradation, or failure of the component over time. It is an important specification for designers to consider when selecting components for a circuit to ensure reliable performance.

Triac Type refers to the classification of triacs based on their electrical characteristics and applications. Triacs are semiconductor devices that can control current flow in both directions and are commonly used in AC power control. Different types of triacs may have variations in parameters such as voltage rating, current rating, triggering method, and switching speed, making them suitable for specific applications like light dimmers, motor speed controls, and heating regulation. Understanding the triac type is crucial for selecting the appropriate component for a given circuit design.

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