A. TDK reserves the term "part number" as the customer description for a specific component. TDK describes the same component internally with a term called "item description". In the OEM channel, the customer part number is registered against the item description, and typically this customer part number has a customer specification that controls the component's form/fit/function (see Figure 1).

In the distribution channel, however, the customer uses TDK's catalog number (see Figure 6). This catalog number is also assigned an item description, but in this case the specification used for form/fit/function is the TDK standard.

We recognize our customers will ask for a TDK "part number", and therefore the TDK part number will be the item description in the OEM channel, and the catalog number in the DISTRIBUTION channel.
