### Fields

#### `aliases` · [`[String!]!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/string.md) non-null scalar

Search aliases used to recognise this family from user input.

#### `capabilities` · [`[DmFamilyCapability!]!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/renesas-preview/types/objects/dm-family-capability.md) non-null object

Extensible key-value list of family feature flags (e.g. bspGeneration). Absent capabilities should be treated as false by callers.

One-line human description of the family.

#### `key` · [`String!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/string.md) non-null scalar

Stable string key for the family (e.g. "RA", "RAFW", "RX"). Use this as the deviceFamily input to evaluation.

#### `label` · [`String!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/string.md) non-null scalar

Full display label, e.g. "Renesas RA".

#### `priority` · [`Int!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/int.md) non-null scalar

Selection/fallback order. Lower is tried first / is the default family.

#### `shortLabel` · [`String!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/string.md) non-null scalar

Compact display label, e.g. "RA".

#### `totalDevices` · [`Int!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/int.md) non-null scalar

Number of devices of this family currently loaded in the catalog.

#### `vendor` · [`String!`](https://altiumdeveloper.github.io/platform-api-docs/reference/common/types/scalars/string.md) non-null scalar
