TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 953382-4

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.

In electronic components, "Material" refers to the substance or composition used to construct the component. It determines the electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the component.

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.

Orientation refers to the physical alignment or position of an electronic component in relation to a reference point or axis. It specifies the direction in which the component should be mounted or installed to ensure proper functionality and performance. Orientation is crucial for components such as diodes, transistors, capacitors, and connectors, where the polarity or pinout must be correctly aligned to prevent damage or malfunction.
