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.

Number of Positions, in the context of electronic components, refers to the number of distinct terminals or connection points available on the component. It indicates the number of individual electrical connections that can be made to the component. A higher number of positions typically allows for more complex functionality and versatility in circuit design.

Current Rating is the maximum amount of current that an electronic component can safely handle without overheating or failing. It is typically expressed in amperes (A) or milliamperes (mA). Exceeding the current rating can damage the component and potentially create a safety hazard. The current rating is determined by the physical characteristics of the component, such as its size, material, and construction.

Termination Style refers to the method used to connect an electronic component to a circuit board or other components. It describes the physical form and electrical characteristics of the connection point. Common termination styles include through-hole, surface mount, and press-fit. Through-hole components have leads that are inserted into holes on the circuit board and soldered in place. Surface mount components are soldered directly onto the surface of the circuit board. Press-fit components are inserted into holes on the circuit board and held in place by friction.

Wire Gauge or Range - AWG (American Wire Gauge) is a standardized system for measuring the diameter of electrical wire. It is used to determine the current-carrying capacity and resistance of a wire. The higher the AWG number, the smaller the wire diameter and the lower the current-carrying capacity. AWG is commonly used in electrical wiring, electronics, and telecommunications.

Current - Ul is an electronic component parameter that specifies the maximum leakage current that can flow through the component when it is reverse-biased. It is typically measured in microamperes (µA) or nanoamperes (nA). A low Current - Ul value indicates that the component has a high resistance to leakage current, which is desirable in many applications.

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.
