Note the distinctions between this and "n has exactly three prime factors" (A014612) or "n has exactly three distinct prime factors." (A033992). The word "sphenic" also means "shaped like a wedge" [American Heritage Dictionary] as in dentation with "sphenic molars." - Jonathan Vos Post, Sep 11 2005
Also the volume of a sphenic brick. A sphenic brick is a rectangular parallelepiped whose sides are components of a sphenic number, namely whose sides are three distinct primes. Example: The distinct prime triple (3,5,7) produces a 3x5x7 unit brick which has volume 105 cubic units. 3-D analog of 2-D A037074 Product of twin primes, per Cino Hilliard's comment. Compare with 3-D A107768 Golden 3-almost primes = Volumes of bricks (rectangular parallelepipeds) each of whose faces has golden semiprime area. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jan 08 2007
Sum(n>=1,  1/a(n)^s) = (1/6)*(P(s)^3 - P(3*s) - 3*(P(s)*P(2*s)-P(3*s))), where P is prime zeta function. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jun 28 2012
Also numbers n with A001222(n)=3 and A001221(n)=3. - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Jun 28 2012
n = 265550 is the smallest n with a(n) (=1279789) < A006881(n) (=1279793). - Peter Dolland, Apr 11 2020

Also Heinz numbers of strict integer partitions into three parts, where the Heinz number of a partition (y_1,...,y_k) is prime(y_1)*...*prime(y_k). These partitions are counted by A001399(n-6) = A069905(n-3), with ordered version A001399(n-6)*6. The sequence of terms together with their prime indices begins:
