Mounting Type refers to the method by which an electronic component is attached to a printed circuit board (PCB) or other surface. Common mounting types include: * Through-hole: Component leads are inserted into holes in the PCB and soldered on the other side. * Surface-mount: Component is placed on the surface of the PCB and soldered in place. * Press-fit: Component is pressed into place on the PCB without soldering. * Socket: Component is inserted into a socket on the PCB, allowing for easy replacement. The mounting type is determined by factors such as the component's size, shape, and power requirements.

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.

Number of Pins: Indicates the number of electrical connections available on the component. These pins are used to connect the component to other components or circuits on a printed circuit board (PCB). The number of pins determines the functionality and connectivity options of the component. It is important to ensure that the component has the correct number of pins for the intended application.

Operating Temperature is the range of temperatures at which an electronic component can function properly. It is typically specified in degrees Celsius (°C) and indicates the minimum and maximum temperatures at which the component can operate without experiencing damage or degradation. Operating Temperature is an important parameter to consider when designing electronic circuits, as it ensures that the components will function reliably in the intended operating environment.

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.

Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is a measure of the susceptibility of a surface mount electronic component to moisture-induced damage during soldering. It is classified into six levels, from 1 (least sensitive) to 6 (most sensitive). MSL is determined by the materials used in the component's construction, including the solderability of its terminals and the presence of moisture-absorbing materials. Components with higher MSL ratings require more stringent handling and storage conditions to prevent moisture absorption and subsequent damage during soldering.

Output Configuration refers to the arrangement of output terminals or pins on an electronic component. It specifies the number, type, and arrangement of these terminals, allowing for various connection options. This parameter is crucial for determining the component's compatibility with other devices and ensuring proper signal flow within a circuit.

Sensing Distance is the distance between an electronic component and an object when the component can detect the object's presence. It is typically measured in millimeters or inches. The sensing distance is determined by the component's design and the sensitivity of its sensor. A component with a longer sensing distance can detect objects from further away, while a component with a shorter sensing distance can detect objects that are closer.
