Contact Material refers to the material used to make the electrical contacts in a component. It determines the electrical conductivity, durability, and resistance to corrosion and wear of the contacts. Common contact materials include copper, silver, gold, and alloys of these metals. The choice of contact material depends on the specific application and the required performance characteristics.

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.

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.

Wire gauge is a measure of the thickness of a wire. It is typically expressed in American Wire Gauge (AWG), which is a logarithmic scale where a higher number indicates a thinner wire. The larger the wire gauge, the smaller the diameter of the wire. Wire gauge is important because it affects the current-carrying capacity and resistance of a wire. A thicker wire can carry more current and has less resistance than a thinner wire.
