Definitions for Product Information
class_id
A unique numeric value identifying the class/Product Line.
class
This is the category in which the part numbers reside in our eCatalog. This is presented to customers as Product Line.
search_keywords
These are keywords that apply to all products in the file. These keywords can be associated with the products in the file for searching purposes on your website.
part_id
A unique numeric value assigned to the part number. On very rare occasions, the tcpn (TE Internal Part Number) can change. The part_id will not change. Using the part_id as your unique identifier would help on those rare occasions when the TCPN changes.
tcpn
TE Corporate Part Number. This is also known as TE Internal Part Number. It is a unique part number among all of TE's part numbers and is sometimes only used for internal purposes.
last_change_date
The date when a change was detected in the part number's XML information. If the date is different than the date you have on file for the part number, you may want to reload the product's information. Note that a change in the XML does not necessarily mean that there was a change in the product information in our eCatalog. For instance, providing an additional tag in the XML would cause a change in date.
primary_part_nbr
Also known as "marketing part number". This is the part number that TE presents to customers. This is the part number used in paper catalogs. It may or may not be the same as the tcpn.
te_part_detail_url
The URL to the part number's Product Details Screen.
te_primary_image_url
The URL to the primary image for the product.
part_aliases
If there are part numbers associated with the product other than the tcpn and primary_part_number, they will be listed here.

attr_value
Attr_value will contain the Feature Value. An example Feature/Feature Value pairing: attr_type name="Upper Frequency, Max." uom="GHz" > <attr_value>3.0</attr_value>. The name of the Feature is Upper Frequency, Max and is measured in GHz and has a value of 3.0.
docInfoList
If documents are associated with the product, there will be a docInfoList section listed after the products attributes.
isDocCADFilesAvailable
If there are one or more CAD Files available for the product, the value will be Yes. If there are no CAD Files available, the value will be No. Direct links are not supplied for CAD Files. Note that this indicator only refers to STEP, IGES and DXF format files. 3D PDFs are treated as documents and if available, are listed in the docInfo area explained next.
docInfo
If there are product related documents other than CAD Files, they will be listed in the docInfo area.
docType
Every document will have a docType. This is a high level classification. There are six docType categories:

docId
docId is the document's unique identifier. A document can have numerous revisions and can be in different formats, but the docID will remain the same.
docRevision
The current document revision level. Typically, revisions start with A, B, C and so on. You should not need to care about the document revision unless you are storing the document on your website (not recommended).

Catalog Pages typically do not have revisions associated with them and the tag will be empty.
docTitle
The title of the document.
docSubType
Some docTypes have docSubTypes associated with them and some do not. This is a further classification of the document. You may choose to show some documents based on its docSubType.
