Four-conductor wire harness

Start with four conductors between a controller and a sensor.

Generated directly from the example YAML with WireViz 0.4.1.

Purpose

This is a small starting point for a cable drawing: two connectors, one cable, and matching pin numbers. The dimensions and pinout are illustrative, not a certified electrical design.

Components

CONTROLLER and SENSOR each have four numbered positions.
W1 contains four 24 AWG conductors and is 0.5 meters long.
Red, black, yellow, and green distinguish the four conductors.

Wiring

The range 1-4 expands to pins 1, 2, 3, and 4. Each position on the controller connects through the matching wire number to the matching sensor position. Labels describe the signals; numbers identify the pins.

What to change

Start by changing the connector names, signal labels, or cable length. For a different pinout, reorder the final connector's pin list. Keep the three lists in each connection set the same length.
