Multiple Wire Crimps

For assignment of connector pin terminals on pins, E3.series now offers the possibility to control whether

  • a connector pin terminal per conductor is allowed

  • multiple wire crimps are allowed

 

Multiple wire crimps are defined as several wires connected to a connector pin terminal (according to the definition of the connector pin terminal)

 

Requirements

The following check boxes must be active in the settings under Settings -> Connection -> Conductors / Wires -> Conductor Assignment Procedure to enable this functionality in project:

 

þ Use physical data of cavity part models instead of device model

 

þ Use physical data of conductor to select connector pin terminal and wire seal

 

Examples

The following examples have the same initial situation.

 

On a connection between two devices, the conductors shall, depending on the state of the check boxes

  • One pin terminal perconductor

  • Allow multiple wire crimps

be connected on one or appropriately several connector pin terminals. The state of the check boxes is changed in the Device Properties - Connector Pin Terminals.

 

Note

The inclusion of conductors on the connector pin terminal is affected by following criteria:

  • Cross-section definitions (min/max/total cross-section and number of wires)

  • Filter attribute (if defined)

  • Lowest appropriate minimum cross-section

  • Appropriate value of numbers of wires

 

Example 1

In this application example, conductors are connected to one connector pin terminal until the maximum wire number of the connector pin terminal is reached.

 

 

Example 2

In this application example, exactly oneconductor per connector pin terminal is connected until the maximum wire number of the component is reached.

 

Example 3

In this application example, the conductors are spaced on several connector pin terminals until the maximum wire number of connector pin terminals is reached.
