| Applications | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Residential / General-Purpose | Devices can be used in residential and general-purpose applications. | ||
| Commercial | Devices can be used in commercial applications. | ||
| Industrial | Devices can be used in general laboratory and industrial applications. Special hardening against weather, shock, extreme heat, and other unusual conditions are not necessary. | ||
| Hospital | Devices are designed to meet the demanding performance requirements typically found in health care facilities such as hospitals and clinics. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted application types. | ||

| Mounting Style | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| DIN Rail Mounted | Devices mount on a standard DIN rail. DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization. | ||
| Panel Mounted | Devices fit a depression within a panel so that they are flush or nearly flush with the panel. Typically, these devices are used in applications that require connectors to fit panel cutouts. | ||
| Flush Mounted | Devices are installed flush with the surface of a panel or piece of equipment. | ||
| Bulkhead Mounted | Devices include a plate or bulkhead for mounting. | ||
| Wall / Box Mounted | Devices are threaded for an accessory (backshell) and intended for permanent mounting. They are usually flanged. | ||
| In-Line / Cable End | Devices mount at the end of an electrical cable. | ||
| Flange Mounted | Devices are equipped with integral flanges for mounting with external hardware such as screws, bolts, or rails. They attach by bolting the flange or riveting it in place through holes in the flange surface. Flange mounted plugs are called flange inlets. Flange mounted receptacles are called flanged outlets. | ||
| PCB Mounted | Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary styles. | ||

| Terminals | Terminals are devices that terminate a conductor. They attach to posts, studs, or other conductors in order to establish an electrical connection. | ||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Cage Clamp | Electrical connections are made using a cage clamp. | ||
| Crimp | Crimp is the physical compression (deformation) of a contact wire barrel around a conductor to make an electrical and mechanical connection to the conductor. | ||
| IDC | Insulation displacement connectors (ICD) slice through cable insulation to make a connection. Forcing an insulated conductor into a restrictive slot in the connection part of the contact displaces the insulation so that the bare wire engages the sides of the slot. IDCs are mass termination connectors for flat cables and eliminate the need to strip insulation. | ||
| PCB Solder | Electrical connection is made by soldering wires onto a printed circuit board (PCB). | ||
| Screw | Electrical connections are made using screws. | ||
| Lugs | Electrical connections are made using lugs. | ||
| Solder Cup or Solder | Solder cups are terminal ends or contacts into which conductors are inserted before soldering. A metal or metallic alloy is used to join metal surfaces together. Normally, a 60-40 rosin core (60% tin and 40% lead) is used for soldering electronic assemblies. Soldering is a wet process. | ||
| Tabs | Electrical connections are made through quick connect tabs. | ||
| Wire Wrap | Electrical connections are made by wrapping a stripped or unstripped solid wire around a terminal post that contains a series of sharp edges. This solderless process requires a special wrapping tool. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted terminal types. | ||

| ||
| Standards and Certifications | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| RoHS Compliant | Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS has been effective since July 1, 2006. | ||

| UL Listing Mark | This Mark denotes that Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) has found that samples of the product met UL's safety requirements. These requirements are primarily based on UL's published Standards for Safety. | ||
| CSA Mark | The CSA Mark may appear alone or with indicators. If it appears alone, it means that the product is certified for the Canadian market, to the applicable Canadian standards. If this Mark appears with the indicator "C and US" or "NRTL/C" it means that the product is certified for both the U.S. and Canadian markets, to the applicable U.S. and Canadian standards. | ||
| ANSI | The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) is a private, non-profit organization (501(c) 3) that administers and coordinates the U.S. voluntary standardization and conformity assessment system. The Institute's mission is to enhance both the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the U.S. quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems, and safeguarding their integrity. | ||
| NOM | NOM standards are the official Mexican product safety requirements. Electrical, electronic, medical, wireless and telecom products sold in Mexico must be tested to the national, mandatory NOM standards by an accredited Mexican laboratory. Testing may be conducted by a laboratory outside of Mexico if it has a laboratory-to-laboratory mutual recognition agreement with an accredited Mexican laboratory or by an accredited lab in a country free-trade agreement with Mexico. | ||

| MIL-SPEC | Devices meet minimum requirements for U.S. military specifications (MIL-SPEC). | ||
| WEEE Compliant | The Waste Electrical and Electronics Equipment Regulations (WEEE Regulations) is a European Parliament Directive with the aim of encouraging reuse, recycling and recovery of electrical and electronic equipment, and to improve the environmental impact and performance of this equipment. This directive sets the requirements and criteria for the collection, treatment, recycling and recovery of this equipment.
