What it represents
A plug-half representation identifies one side of a detachable connector. Its mating reference and pin number preserve the circuit path when the other half appears elsewhere.
How to read it
- Locate the mating socket before treating the endpoint as an unconnected conductor.
- The preview is an original explanation of this function. Match the actual drawing convention to its legend and the selected equipment documentation.
Information to show or reference
- Identify connector tag
- State pin number
- Cross-reference mating half
A distinction that matters
A separately drawn plug is not a terminal block or an off-sheet wire arrow.
