Connector pinout with named pins

Use explicit connector pin IDs and descriptive wiring labels.

Generated directly from the example YAML with WireViz 0.4.1.

Purpose

Represent connectors whose physical positions have letter IDs instead of sequential numbers. The labels and pinout in this adapter are illustrative.

Components

SOURCE has pin IDs A, B, and C.
DESTINATION has pin IDs P, R, and S.
The three entries in W1.colors establish its conductor count. The cable uses 0.25 mm² wire and a length of 30 centimeters.

Wiring

The source connection uses its unique pin labels: supply, return, and signal. The cable connection uses its unique wire labels. The destination uses explicit pin IDs. WireViz resolves these references to A→P, B→R, and C→S through conductors 1, 2, and 3.

What to change

Replace the pin IDs with the markings on your connector and keep connection references consistent. Labels used as references must be unique within their component. Quote IDs such as "ON" or "01" when they must stay strings in YAML.
