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

Resistance is a fundamental property of electronic components that measures their opposition to the flow of electric current. It is denoted by the symbol "R" and is measured in ohms (Ω). Resistance is caused by the collisions of electrons with atoms in a material, which generates heat and reduces the flow of current. Components with higher resistance will impede the flow of current more than those with lower resistance. Resistance plays a crucial role in determining the behavior and functionality of electronic circuits, such as limiting current flow, voltage division, and controlling power dissipation.

In electronic components, the parameter "Orientation" refers to the specific alignment or positioning of the component with respect to its intended installation or operation. This parameter is crucial for ensuring proper functionality and performance of the component within a circuit or system. Orientation may include factors such as the physical orientation of the component on a circuit board, the direction of current flow through the component, or the alignment of specific features or terminals for correct connection. Manufacturers often provide orientation guidelines in datasheets or technical specifications to help users correctly install and use the component. Paying attention to the orientation of electronic components is essential to prevent errors, ensure reliability, and optimize the overall performance of electronic devices.

In electronic components, "Depth" typically refers to the measurement of the distance from the front to the back of the component. It is an important parameter to consider when designing or selecting components for a project, as it determines how much space the component will occupy within a circuit or device. The depth of a component can impact the overall size and layout of the circuit board or enclosure in which it will be installed. It is usually specified in millimeters or inches and is crucial for ensuring proper fit and functionality within the intended application.

Reach Compliance Code refers to a designation indicating that electronic components meet the requirements set by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation in the European Union. It signifies that the manufacturer has assessed and managed the chemical substances within the components to ensure safety and environmental protection. This code is vital for compliance with regulations aimed at minimizing risks associated with hazardous substances in electronic products.

Radiation hardening is the process of making electronic components and circuits resistant to damage or malfunction caused by high levels of ionizing radiation, especially for environments in outer space (especially beyond the low Earth orbit), around nuclear reactors and particle accelerators, or during nuclear accidents or nuclear warfare.

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

Lead Free is a term used to describe electronic components that do not contain lead as part of their composition. Lead is a toxic material that can have harmful effects on human health and the environment, so the electronics industry has been moving towards lead-free components to reduce these risks. Lead-free components are typically made using alternative materials such as silver, copper, and tin. Manufacturers must comply with regulations such as the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive to ensure that their products are lead-free and environmentally friendly.
