Inline Pair

When an inline pair is placed on a bundle, the wires passing through that bundle are automatically terminated at the relevant half of the connector pair. Each connector half has its own, individual property set. Inline pairs split the bundles into separate harnesses.

All inline pairs display on the Design tab of the project browser tree.

Note

You can edit which signal goes into which cavity of an inline connector. See Mapping a Signal Between Cavities on the Halves of an Inline Connector for more information.

There are several factors that are considered when placing inline pairs, the following highlights some of the possible factors:

• Manufacturing

• if the sections of the vehicle (the harnesses) are to be manufactured (or designed) at separate locations (companies, factories, and so on).

• Assembly - to aid fitting the harnesses into the vehicle.

• Option content

• large numbers of options on a harness result in many harness levels which may be difficult to manage.

• Physical constraints

• where you can place the connectors for easy assembly, for accessibility and for reliability (where the connectors do not undergo physical or environmental distress).
