SelectionCharacteristics
Type: A general description of the item and function.
Output Type: Describes the format of how the device transmits the data.
Sensitivity: Indicates the nominal change in output for a given minimum particular size.
Current - DC Forward (If) (Max): This rating indicates the nominal amount of current you would expect the device to draw during normal operation.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits that one can expect in standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and/or other system components.
Package / Case: Describes the footprint and type of body the item has based on a general standard.
