What it represents
A plug/socket pair represents a detachable electrical connection with two mating sides. Pin identity and mating references are needed to follow each circuit through the connector.
How to read it
- Check connector naming and pin numbering on both mating halves.
- 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
- Name both connector halves
- Identify pin numbers
- Reference connected-state convention
A distinction that matters
A connector pair is different from a permanent wire splice.
