How to Read Connector Codes and Pin NOS.




It is possible to retrieve the location and shape of each connector from the connector code indicated in ("SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM") and the position of each pin from the connector pin No.

To Retrieve Location of Connector:
Open ("SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM") to consult the connector code of the questioned connector. Then, refer to ("CONNECTOR LAYOUT DIAGRAM") and look for the same code as the connector code in question. The place where the code is found is the location of that connector.

To Retrieve Shape or Pin No.:
Open ("SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM") to consult the connector code and pin No. of the connector of interest. Then, refer to ("LIST OF CONNECTORS") as shown at the right in the figure and look for the desired connector code where the shape of that connector is shown. This method is convenient when locating the connector of interest among similar connectors. Also, by using this information, it is possible to find the position of each pin from the connector pin No. provided in ("SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM"). It is helpful when retrieving pin position in the connector for checking continuity between pins.

To know the location, shape or pin position of the connector, cross-refer ("SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGRAM"),("CONNECTOR LAYOUT DIAGRAM") and ("LIST OF CONNECTORS") as follows:
