What it represents
This form identifies a separable connector whose publisher representation preserves wire-number identity across the interface. The electrical connection passes through mating connector pins while the drafting system retains the wire identifier. Connector tags and pin numbers still describe the separable interface.
Use the pin mapping to link both sides and retain connector identity even where wire labels match. A wiring report should not erase the physical connector simply because the number is continuous.
How to read it
- Document connector and pin tags independently of the continuous wire identifier.
- Wire-number continuity is a drafting-data convention and does not eliminate the connector's separable physical interface.
Information to show or reference
- Identify the associated device, circuit or diagram boundary.
- Document connector and pin tags independently of the continuous wire identifier.
- Cross-reference the equipment data, terminal mapping or operating-state legend needed to interpret the form.
A distinction that matters
Wire-number continuity is a drafting-data convention and does not eliminate the connector's separable physical interface.
