Electronic equipment interfaces and cable connections

Design around each
connection position.

Board spacing, enclosure geometry and cable routing shape the connector specification. Define the position first, then compare the required parameters.

Discuss your requirements

Define the interface before the part.

Design questions
Information to prepare
01

Board connections

Confirm contact pitch, board spacing and mounting direction. Allow clearance for assembly and mating.

Pitch and contact count · stack height · PCB footprint

Board layout and connector drawing

Explore board-connection products

Compare the pin arrangement, pitch and mounting geometry with your board layout.

02

Equipment interfaces

Check the opening, retention and mating access at the enclosure. Define shielding requirements with the system design.

Panel opening · mounting hardware · orientation

Enclosure drawing and mating-part dimensions

Explore equipment-interface products

Compare the connector orientation, footprint and enclosure opening with your assembly drawing.

03

Cable connections

Define both ends of the assembly and the routing space. Specify pin assignments before discussing the connector pair.

Cable length · termination · pin assignment

Assembly drawing and wiring definition

Explore cable assemblies

Define both connector ends, the cable length and pin assignment for your assembly.
