Overview of Stud

Pins and Ring Terminals

You can specify stud pins on device library parts in Capital Component Manager and on devices in Capital Logic Designer. When a device with a stud pin is placed in a slot in Capital Systems Integrator, you can see it in the signal map.

The system performs the following actions.

• Maps the device pins to cavities.

• Maps the stud pin to a ring terminal if the slot has one. If the slot does not have a ring terminal, the system creates one (with no part number) connecting to the stud pin.

• Lists the ring terminal () under the Connectors for the slot in the Design Browser (Design tab).

• Displays the ring terminal in the slot’s signal map, both in the Connector Mating table at the top of the dialog box and on the Signal Mappings tab, where it displays the mapping between the ring terminal and the stud pin. Note If the device has no footprint, you can manipulate all pin mappings in the signal map. If the device has a footprint, you can manipulate only stud pin mappings. You can map stud pins only to ring terminals.

If the device has a library part number, the housing definition for the device dictates the allowable part numbers for the ring terminals.

If required, you can add additional ring terminals to a slot by adding connectors and converting them to ring terminals.

You can also map a stud pin to multiple ring terminals. If there are multiple signals connected to the stud pin and you want to route each signal to a separate ring terminal, you can either:

• Set up Route by Attribute/Property constraints on the bundles connecting to the ring terminals prior to running wiring synthesis. See Overview of Rules and Constraints for information about working with constraints.

• Edit the signal map for the slot after synthesis. That is, copy the stud pin row and map the new row to an additional ring terminal.

When you synchronize Capital Systems Integrator design data with a Capital Harness Designer design, the ring terminals are included.
