FIG. 22 INTERCONNECTION DIAGRAM

6.16.5 INTERCONNECTION DIAGRAM DRAWING An interconnection diagram drawing depicts only external
connections between assemblies, units, or higher level
items.
6.16.5.1 Guidelines - An interconnection diagram is
prepared to illustrate the interconnections between units,
and systems.
6.16.5.2 Requirements An interconnection diagram is
either a wiring diagram that shows each wire, or a cable
diagram that primarily shows cables, but may also
include wires. It does not show physical relationship.

FIG. 25 CABLE ASSEMBLY DRAWING

6.18 CABLE ASSEMBLY DRAWING - A cable

assembly drawing defines the engineering requirements
and establishes the item identification for that assembly.
The assembly consists of conductors (insulated wires,
shielding, coaxial cables, etc.) within a mold or jacket
covering, and has one or more ends terminated in
connectors, terminal lugs, or similar fittings.

c ) Preparation of the cable ends

d) Orientation and offset of connectors
e ) Maximum diameter of cable
f)

Minimum bend radii for wiring within the assembly

g) Detailed views of molded areas

h) Conductor lay patterns (optional)

6.18.1 Guidelines - A cable assembly drawing is prepared

to describe power, signal, radio frequency, audio, and
general purpose electrical cable assemblies including
both single-run and branched cables.
6.18.2 Requirements A cable assembly drawing
includes, as applicable:
a ) Dimensions and tolerances for overall length and
breakout locations. A simplified, single line diagram
is generally sufficient to define these requirements.

i)

Identification band or other marking requirements

j)

A wiring list, wiring diagram, or schematic diagram

defining electrical connections and specifying the
wire numbers, color codes, and termination
requirements

k) Finish, assembly storage such as dust covers,

instructions
1) Test requirements.
Views in a cable assembly drawing need not be to scale.

b) Identification of parts, bulk materials, and processes

required for fabrication of the cable assembly
