Rated Contact Current is the maximum current that a switch or relay can safely carry without overheating or damaging its contacts. It is typically specified in amperes (A) and is determined by the size, material, and design of the contacts. Exceeding the rated contact current can cause the contacts to weld together, arc, or burn, which can lead to failure of the switch or relay.

Installation Type refers to the method by which an electronic component is mounted onto a printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrate.

Contact Form refers to the physical shape and arrangement of the electrical contacts on an electronic component. It describes how the component connects to other components on a circuit board or other electrical system. Common contact forms include through-hole, surface mount, and pin headers. The contact form determines the method of mounting and soldering the component, as well as its compatibility with different types of circuit boards and connectors.

L x W/Size refers to the physical dimensions of an electronic component, typically a capacitor or inductor. It is expressed as the length (L) multiplied by the width (W) of the component, usually in millimeters (mm). This parameter provides information about the physical size of the component, which is important for determining its suitability for a particular application. A larger L x W/Size indicates a larger physical component, while a smaller L x W/Size indicates a smaller component.

Part Life Cycle (PLC) refers to the lifespan of an electronic component, from its introduction to its eventual obsolescence.

Country of Origin for electronic components refers to the nation where the component was manufactured or assembled. It indicates the geographical location of the production facility. This information is crucial for various reasons.

Original Manufacturer (OM) refers to the initial producer of an electronic component. It indicates the company that designed and fabricated the component. The OM is often different from the company that sells or distributes the component. Knowing the OM is important for traceability, quality control, and warranty purposes. It allows users to identify the source of the component and contact the manufacturer directly for support or replacement.

Brand refers to the manufacturer or company that produces the electronic component. It indicates the origin and quality of the component. Different brands may have varying levels of reputation, reliability, and specialization in specific types of components. Choosing components from reputable brands can provide assurance of quality, performance, and support.

Voltage - Switch Ac is an electronic component parameter that specifies the voltage at which a switch or relay will operate. It is typically measured in volts (V) and indicates the minimum voltage required to activate the switch. This parameter is important for ensuring that the switch will function properly in the intended application.

Height, in the context of electronic components, refers to the vertical dimension of the component. It is typically measured in millimeters (mm) or inches (in). Height is an important parameter to consider when designing and assembling electronic circuits, as it affects the overall size and form factor of the device. Components with a smaller height are often preferred for applications where space is limited, such as in portable devices or embedded systems.

Part Status is an electronic component parameter that indicates the availability and production status of a component. It is typically used to inform customers about the availability of a component, whether it is in production, end-of-life, or obsolete. Part Status can also provide information about any restrictions or limitations on the component's use, such as whether it is only available for certain applications or if it has been discontinued.

Series, in the context of electronic components, refers to the arrangement of components in a circuit. When components are connected in series, they form a single path for current to flow through. The total resistance of a series circuit is the sum of the individual resistances of each component. Series connections are often used to control the flow of current in a circuit, as the total resistance can be adjusted by changing the number or type of components in the series.

Lead Free Or Not indicates whether the electronic component is compliant with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. RoHS is a European Union directive that restricts the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. Lead is one of the substances restricted by RoHS. Components that are Lead Free Or Not compliant do not contain lead or contain lead below the RoHS threshold levels. This means that these components can be used in products that are sold in the European Union.

Lead Quantity refers to the number of electrical connections or terminals on an electronic component. These leads provide a physical and electrical interface between the component and the circuit board or other components. The lead quantity is a crucial parameter as it determines the component's connectivity and functionality within the electronic system.

Package / Case refers to the physical housing or enclosure that encapsulates an electronic component. It provides protection, facilitates handling, and enables electrical connections. The package type determines the component's size, shape, pin configuration, and mounting options. Common package types include DIP (dual in-line package), SOIC (small outline integrated circuit), and BGA (ball grid array). The package also influences the component's thermal and electrical performance.

Coil Power is a parameter that describes the power handling capability of an inductor. It is typically measured in watts (W) and represents the maximum amount of power that the inductor can dissipate without overheating or saturating. Coil Power is determined by the inductor's physical construction, including the core material, wire gauge, and number of turns. Inductors with higher Coil Power ratings can handle more current and dissipate more heat, making them suitable for use in high-power applications.

Coil Voltage refers to the voltage applied across the coil terminals of an electronic component, such as a relay, solenoid, or inductor. It determines the magnetic field strength generated by the coil and, consequently, the component's operation. Higher coil voltage typically results in a stronger magnetic field and increased force or inductance. The appropriate coil voltage for a specific component is crucial for its intended function and should be carefully selected based on the manufacturer's specifications.
