PRACTICAL CONSIDERATIONS
1. Current, Voltage Needs
• Gauge of wire, insulation
2. Customer’s Use and Abuse
• Connect/ disconnect needs
• Routing, protecting
• Mounting, vibration and stability
• Strained or solid
• Gold versus Tin; environment, corrosion, current rating
• Instrumentation quality for long life
3. Color Coding for ease in Debug and future use.
As an example;
1. Red Vcc/Vdd
2. Black Grd/ Vss
3. Orange, color by major node.

STEP 7 CONNECTORS/ PINS/ TP’S/ LEDS
Add all needed I/O connectors to your schematic(s).
1. Connect/ disconnect needs – screw terminators,
push type
2. Major Manufactures: Amp, Molex
3. Location
• between assemblies
• interface to other projects (collaborate with other teams)
• instrumentation
4. Get crimp compatibility to pin manufacturers (style
and gauge).
5. Pins: crimp versus solder
6. Current rating rule of thumb is 10x. i.e. 100 ma
purchase 1 amp pins
7. Types; ribbon, D shell, PCB mount
