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.

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.

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

The measurement of insulation resistance is carried out by means of a megohmmeter – high resistance range ohmmeter. A general rule-of-thumb is 10 Megohm or more.

Mechanical life is a parameter used to measure the durability and reliability of electronic components, particularly mechanical switches and connectors. It refers to the number of mechanical operations or cycles that a component can withstand before it fails or exhibits degraded performance. Components with a higher mechanical life rating are considered more robust and long-lasting, making them suitable for applications where frequent switching or physical stress is expected. Manufacturers typically test and specify the mechanical life of their components to help users understand their expected lifespan and performance under various operating conditions.

Operating force is a key parameter in electronic components, particularly in devices such as switches and buttons. It refers to the amount of force required to actuate or trigger the component, typically measured in units like grams or newtons. The operating force determines the tactile feedback and feel of the component when it is pressed or activated. It is important for ensuring user comfort and usability, as components with too high or too low operating force may lead to user fatigue or accidental activations. Manufacturers specify the operating force of components to help designers select the right components for their applications based on the desired user experience and functionality.

Switch Height in electronic components refers to the physical distance that a switch travels when it is actuated or pressed. This parameter is important in determining the tactile feedback and feel of the switch when it is used. A shorter switch height typically results in a more responsive and quicker actuation, while a taller switch height may provide a more deliberate and pronounced tactile feedback. Manufacturers often specify the switch height in their product datasheets to help users understand the characteristics of the switch and choose the right component for their application.
