Mapping Multiple Shield

Signals to One Backshell Termination on an Inline Connector

You can use a signal map to map multiple shield signals to one backshell on both halves of an inline pair.

Procedure

1. Select either half of the inline pair in the Diagram Window or Design Browser (Design tab) and either:Right-click the selected object and choose Signal Map.

Press Space Bar and enter Signal Map.

The Signal Map Dialog Box for Inline displays.

2. On the Signal Mappings tab, each row represents the signal mapping between mated cavities or backshell terminations from the inline halves. In the row containing the backshell, select the first shield Signal that is mapped to the backshell.

3. With the first mapping row for the backshell selected, click Duplicate Cavity(); a new row containing duplicate values is added.

4. In the new row, specify the second shield signal to be mapped.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each shield signal to be mapped to that backshell.

6. Click OK.
