datasheet
Component specification document
A datasheet is a document summarizing the technical specifications and performance characteristics of a product, component, or material.
Datasheets are standard in electronics and engineering, providing engineers with the precise information needed to use a part correctly: Check the datasheet for the chip's voltage requirements.
Also spelled as two words: data sheet.
