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.

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.

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 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.

Pitch, in the context of electronic components, refers to the distance between the centers of adjacent pins or terminals on a component. It is typically measured in millimeters (mm) or inches (in). The pitch determines the spacing between components on a printed circuit board (PCB) and affects the overall size and layout of the board. A smaller pitch allows for more components to be placed on a given area, but it also increases the risk of shorts and other manufacturing defects.

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.
