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.

Body Material refers to the material used to construct the main body or housing of an electronic component. It provides structural support, protection, and electrical insulation. Common body materials include plastic, metal, ceramic, and composite materials. The choice of body material depends on factors such as durability, heat dissipation, electrical conductivity, and cost.

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.

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.

Termination refers to the electrical characteristics of a component or circuit at its input or output terminals. It describes how the component or circuit interacts with external signals or devices. Termination can involve matching impedance, providing voltage or current regulation, or filtering unwanted signals. Proper termination ensures efficient signal transfer, minimizes reflections, and prevents damage to components. It is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and optimizing circuit performance.

Number of Contacts refers to the number of electrical connections that a component has. It is a crucial parameter for connectors, switches, and other components that facilitate electrical connections. A higher number of contacts allows for more connections to be made, increasing the component's versatility and functionality. This parameter is essential for ensuring proper mating and electrical performance in electronic systems.
