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.

Housing Material refers to the material used to construct the outer casing or enclosure of an electronic component.

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.

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.

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.
