 Foreword

Subcommittee 15 - Electrical and Electronic Diagrams - was formed on April

26, 1964, as a subcommittee of Sectional Committee Yl4-Standards for Draw-
ings and Drafting. When formed, this subcommittee was charged with the responsi-
bility of preparing a drafting standard covering "electrical schematic, wiring and
block diagrams for use in the communications, electronic, electric power, indus-
trial control, telephone, telegraph and allied industries." A natural addition to
this scope was the inclusion of military considerations through participation by
re-presentatives of the Department of Defense.
The creation of such a standard, acceptable to the manufacture of electrical
equipment and to industrial, military and utility users, often in areas which were
themselves undergoing development, has been an exercise in cooperation and
compromise. The overriding purpose of all of the participants has been to issue
a single USA standard which could be used as a reference in purchasing
equipment, cited as authority in contract and military specifications and ap-
plicable as a guide for drafting and design personnel responsible for drawings for
production or for use wholly within a plant or company.

r For this standard to be so widely applicable it had to be made broad and per-
missive; therefore compromise was essential, particularly in terminology, but
such compromise had the beneficial effect of expediting its issue and of making
it generally available. We hope its effect is to unify drafting practices and that
future revisions will refl~ct increasing uniformity by eliminating multiple options
and establishing preferred methods and nomenclature.
Paragraphs 15-1 to 15-9 inclusive were approved by the Sectional Committee,
the sponsors and the USA Standards Institute, and were designated USA Standard
on December 2, 1966.
Paragraphs 15-10 and 15-12 were approved by the Sectional Committee
on July 20, 1966 for issue on a trial basis to provide an opportunity for industry
to comment before final adoption of these paragraphs as a USA Standard. If this
standard if referred to, all paragraphs (including 15-10 and 15-12) apply unless
specific exception are indicated.

 USA STANDARD
DRAFTING PRACTICES
Electrical and Electronics Diagrams
15-1 Scope
This standard contains definitions and general
information applicable to most of the commonly
used Electrical and Electronics Diagrams. It also
includes detailed recommendations on preferred
practices for use in the preparation of Electrical
and Electronics Diagrams. The recommended
practices covered by this standard are ground
rules designed to eliminate divergent Electrical
and Electronics Diagram drafting techniques.
The illustrations shown represent good drafting
practices. They are not intended as engineering
design guides.
15-2 Definitions
The following diagram definitions have been
adopted as standard.
15-2.1 Sitlgle-Lille or One-Litle Diagram
A diagram which shows, by means of single
lines and graphic symbols, the course of an elec-
tric circuit or system of circuits and the com-
ponent devices or pacts used therein.
1
15-2.2 Schematic or I: h-melliary l)iagram
A diagram which shows, by means of graphic
symbols, the electrical connections and function s
of a specific circuit arrangement. The Schematic
Diagram facilitates tracing the circuit and its
functions without regard to the actual physical
size, shape, or location of the component device
or parts. (See 15-8.10 for Schematics prepared for
maintenance purposes.)
15-2.3 CmlllectifJll or Wirillg l)iagram
A diagram which shows the connections of an
installation or its component devices or parts. It
may cover internal or external connections, or
both, and contains such detail as is needed to
make or trace connections that are involved. The
Connection Diagram usually shows general
physical arrangement of the component devices
or parts.
15.2.4 IlIttirCfHlIJtiction Diagram
A form of Connection or Wiring Diagram which
shows only external connections between unit as-
semblies or equipment. The internal connections
of the unit assemblies or equipment are usually
omitted.
 USA STANDARD DRAFTING PRACfICES
15-2.5 Terminal Diagram
A diagram relating the funcuor ally ~epicted
internal circuit of an item or device to Its term-
inal physical configuration, and locating the
terminals with respect to the outline or orienta-
tion markings of the item.
15-2.6 Other Terms
In various portions of the electrical and elec-
tronics field, long standing usage of a few terms
has varied widely.
A DEVICE in the electric power field is often
a PART in the electronics field; generally these
are elemental circuit items such as fuses, meters,
relays, resistors, or switches. In this sense,
PAR T has a specific meaning different from the
usual dictionary definition implying a portion.
COMPONENT is ambiguous, for it
(a) has long established usage meaning a
PART in the electronic sense,
(b) has been defined as a subassembly (one or
more circuits made up of devices or parts),
and
(c) also means a subsystem or a system (for
example, a power supply).
EQUIPMENT in this standard implies an as-
sembly of devices designed to perform one or
more specific independent or operational func-
tions; it includes units, sets, and systems.
ITEM is used in the usual dictionary sense.
COMPONENT DEVICE in this standard is ap-
plied to parts, devices, apparatus, assemblies,
or units.
15-3 General In formation
The following sub-paragraphs cover basic ma-
terial which is applicable to all diagrams.
15-3.1 Other Reference Standards
The following other standards are referenced
in various sub-paragraphs of this ~tandard. When

ever, the diagram title should still conform to the
requirements of 15-3.2, the title being selected
on the basis of the major purpose of the diagram.
15-3.4 Drawing Size and Format
Drawing sizes and formats used with diagrams
shall conform with USA Standards Y14.1. In
general, the smallest size standard format com-
patible with the nature of the diagram should be
selected. When interrelated diagrams are sec-
tionalized and prepared on different drawings, or
as multiple sheet drawings, suitable cross ref-
erences should be provided. Separate sheets of
multiple sheet drawings should be the same size.
15-3.5 Line Conventions and Lettering
The selection of line thickness as well as
letter size should take into account size reduc-
tion or enlargement, when it is felt that legibility
will be affected. A line of medium thickness is
recommended for general use on diagrams. A thin
line may be used for brackets, leader lines, etc.
When emphasi s of special features such as main
or transmission paths is essential, a line thick-
ness sufficient to provide the desired contrast
may be used. Line thickness and lettering used
with diagrams shall, in general, conform with
USA Standard Y14.2 and local requirements
to facilitate microfilming. Line conventions, rela-
tive thickness and suggested applications for use
on Electrical and Electronics Diagrams are
shown in Figure 3-1.
15-3.5.1 Lower Case Letters
When necessary (to avoid ambiguity) to in-
dicate or distinguish between upper and lower
case letters that appear on an item or in a
national standard, any of the following alterna-
tives shall be used:
(a) Lower case letters (enlarged, when necessary,
for proper reproduction).
(b) Upper case letters followed by asterisks (for
example, A* signifies a, A*BC* signifies aBc,
etc.).

15-3.6 Graphic Symbols
Graphic symbols used for diagrams shall con-
form with USA Standard Graphic Symbols for
Electrical and Electronics Diagrams, Y32.2, or
other national-level standards if the symbol is
not covered in the USA Standard. If no suit-
able symbol exists, any special symbol used
shall be explained by a note on the diagram.
Symbols or parts of symbols (except letters and
numbers) which lend themselves to being rotated
or reversed may be so oriented for simplification
of circuit layout. The terminal symbol (0) may be
added as required to any of the basic symbols.
Graphic symbols may be drawn to any propor-
tional size that suits a particular diagram, pro-
vided the selection of size takes into account
the anticipated reduction or enlargement. For
most diagrams intended for manufacturing pur-
poses, or for ultimate use in a reduced form (2.5
to 1 max.), it is recommended that symbols be
drawn approximately 1.5 times the size of those
shown in the USA Standard Y32.2. The use
of a symbol in the illustrations of this standard
does not preclude the use of alternatives shown
in Y32.2.

tacts

15-6 Single-Line Diagrams (Power Switchgear 600 A

and Industrial Control) 1500 MVA
The following sub-paragraphs contain detailed LINE
information specifically applicable to Power
Switchgear and Industrial Control Single-Line
Diagrams. This material is to be used as a sup-
plement to the general standards of 15-4.

15-6.1 General In/ormatio,z

The Single-Line or One~Line Diagram is a key
diagram showing the overall relationship between
circuits and their component devices or parts.
Only a single line is used to show an AC or DC
sy stem as illustrated in Figure 6-1. Thick con-
necting lines indicate primary circuits. Medium
connecting lines indicate the connections to the
current and potential sources. Small circles por-
tray relays, meters and instruments, and small
rectangles depict resistors, transfer and selector
switches. Power circuit devices and relays are
identified by device function designations
(USA Standard C37.2); meters, instruments
and switches by abbreviations and letter com-
binations (refer to 15-3.6 and 15-3.7).
15-6.2 Contents
A Single-Line Diagram shows connections of
major equipment, protective relays, meters, and
instruments. Consideration shall be given to
inclusion of the following information:

15-6.2.1 Ratings
Ratings which are essential to an overall
understanding of the system shall be included.
Detailed ratings should be stated on the Con-
nection Diagram. Generator ratings, for example,
include: kilowatt capacity, power factor, voltage,
number of phase windings, cycles and revolu-
tions per minute as shown in Figure 6-2.

The arrangement of the diagram should be made
to give the utmost in clarity. The following re-
quirements shall be observed in the preparation
of the diagram:

15-6.3.1 Graphic Symbols

Symbols for Single-Line Diagrams are in-
tended to indicate the operating functions. These
symbols are shorthand graphic representations
and are not necessarily intended to represent the
physical likeness of the device nor contain com-
plete electrical connections. Graphic symbols
shall be applied as described in 15-3.6.

FIGUR E 6-9 - ILLUSTRATION SHOWING CIRCUIT 15-6.3.2 Abbreviations

BREAKER MECHANISM SYMBOL Abbreviations shall be applied as described
in 15-3.7.

15-6.3.3 Device Designations

15-6.2.8 Ratios of Instrument Transformers
Current transformers should show the number
of transformers and the ampere ratio; Figure

ratios, the connected ratio should also be in-
dicated; Figure 6-10(B). If only one or two trans-
formers are present in a three-phase system, the
phase location of these transformers should also
be shown; Figure 6-10(C).

 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS
15-S Schematic Diagrams (Electronics and Com-
munication)
The following subparagraphs contain detailed
information which is specifically applicable to
Schematic Diagrams of the type used with elec-
tronic and communication equipment. This ma-
terial is to be used as a supplement to the gen-
eral standards of 15-7.
15-S.1 Layout
In general, Schematic Diagrams should be ar-
ranged so that they can be read functionally from
left to right. Complex diagrams should generally
be arranged to read from upper left to lower right,
and may be laid out in two or more layers. Each
layer should be read from left to right.
The overall result shall be a circuit layout
which follows the signal or transmission path
from input to output, or in the order of functional
sequence. Where practical, terminations for ex-
ternal connections should be located at the outer
edges of the circuit layout.
15-S.2 Drawing Zones
Zones (coordinates) should be shown on a com-
plex Schematic Diagram to aid in the location of
specific items; see Figure 8-19. If a Schematic
Diagram is prepared mainly for maintenance pur-
poses and is likely to be reproduced in a tech-
nical manual or its equivalent, it is preferred
that the coordinate system begin in the upper
left. This preference is based on beginning the
reference designation suffix number assignment
from the same area on the Schematic Diagram
(see 15-8.6). However, when the diagram is pre-
pared on a zoned drawing format, the format
zones may be used.
15-8.3 Circuit Return and Connection Symbols
For the application of circuit return symbols
-III, -- [2, --., ----C>*,seeFigure
8-22. The - ..,.symbol should be used when there
is a specific potential difference with respect to
a potential reference level, and the --t> *sym-
bol should be used when the common connections
are at an unspecified potential level. Asterisks
shall be replaced in accordance with USA Stan-
dard Y32.2.
15-S.4 Terminals
Terminal circles should be omitted unless re-
quired for clarification. See switch SI in Figure
8-19 for a typical application of the standard
terminal symbol to a complex switch. For pre-
ferred terminal representation of spring contacts
for relays, jacks and key switches, see Figure
8-17, graphic symbols J 1, SI, Kl. When terminal
symbols are omitted from the terminations of a
part, or an enclosed or shielded group of parts,
terminal markings should be placed immediately
outside the enclosure. See parts T2, T3, T4, T5,
13
T7, and T8 of Figure 8-19 for examples of term-
inal markings.
15-8.4.1 Identification of Terminals (General)
Terminal identifications shall be added to
graphic symbols to indicate actual physical mark-
ings which appear on or near part terminations.
When the terminals of parts (such as relays,
switches, or transformers) are not shown or
marked on the part, number or letter identifica-
tions should be arbitrarily assigned. This prac-
tice will facilitate use of the circuit information
for Connection Diagram preparation and circuit
testing. When terminal identifications are arbi-
trarily assigned, the Schematic Diagram should
include an explanatory note (see Figure 8-17,
note 4) and a simplified terminal orientation dia-
gram which relates assigned symbol terminal
nomenclature to functional markings on the equip-
ment and physical features of the part. For ex-
amples of terminal numbering and simplified term-
inal orientation diagrams for the drawing note,
see Figures 8-1,8-2,8-3,8-17, and 8-19.
When terminals or leads of multilead parts
are identified on the part by a wire color code,
letter, number or geomeuic symbol, this identifi-
cation shall be shown on or near the connecting
line adjacent to the symbol. For an example, see
transformer TIO (color of leads) and capacitor
C40 (geometric symbol) of Figure 8-19.

propriately modifying the reference designation,
for example, SIA FRONT and SIA REAR. See

tion) Methods
Switching circuit functions may be more
clearly shown, and bends and crossovers sub-
stantially reduced by showing the contacts of
switching devices separated from each other
and from the operating device (coil). Unused
contacts need not be delineated on diagram if
listed separately.
In Figure 8-17, relay contacts have been
shown spaced from the coils to facilitate under-
standing the circuit functions. Mechanical link-
age lines shown between elements of multi-
element switching devices and reference desig-
nations for identifying individual contacts may
both be omitted when the association of ele-
ments is clear. Functional designations not in-
tended to convey surface marking information
may be aligned along one edge of the Schematic
Diagram instead of being shown at the graphic
symbol.
The circuit function presentation of Figure
8-17 may be improved by completely separating
the switching device elements as shown in
Figure 8-18. The association of the elements is
shown by means of" reference designations and
contact designations. If the Schematic Diagram
is complex, it may be necessary to show the
complete graphic symbol of the contacting de-
vice elsewhere on the diagram with zone loca-
tions of the device elements. In Figure 8-18,
the switching function symbols are used instead
of the contact symbols shown in Figure 8-17.
15-8.6 Reference Designations
Reference designations are combinations of
letters and numbers which identify items shown
on the Single-Line or Schematic Diagram. These
reference designations serve to identify the same
items on related documents, such as the Assem-
bly Drawing and Connection Diagram. All graphic
symbols of separately replaceable items shall
be identified by an appropriate reference desig-
nation located as near as practicable to the
graphic symbol. In addition, items not separately
replaceable may be identified as required. Mount-
ing devices for electron tubes, lamps, fuses,
etc., are not usually shown or identified on
Schematic Diagrams. For application of partial
reference designation prefixes see 15-8.10.1. The
The number portion of the reference designa-
tion shall follow the letter or letters without
hyphen or space and shall be of the same size
and on the same line; for example, CI, S14, and
MG5. The assignment of numbers should prefer-
ably start with the lowest number in the upper
left-hand corner of the Schematic Diagram and
proceed consecutively from left to right and top
to bottom throughout the drawing.
When items are eliminated as a result of a
drawing revision, remaining items should not be
renumbered. For circuits showing many items, a
table may be used to show which numbers are not
used and the highest numbered reference designa-
tions, as shown in Figure 8-14.
This table may include any or all types of
items and shall be located; conveniently near
notes or other tabular information.

15-8.7.6 Numerical Value and Reference
Designation Placement
Numerical values and reference designations
shall be located as near as feasible to the sym-
bol. Preferable arrangements are shown in Figure
8-16. Multiplier symbols are shown to indicate
multiples of a basic unit.
15-8.8 Functional Identi/icationo/ Parts
Some parts may require special functional
identification. Such information may be applied
when it will contribute substantially to the read-
ability of the circuit. Functional designations
which are to be marked on chassis or panel sur-
faces shall be shown on the diagram adjacent to
the applicable symbol.
15-8.9 Test Points
In addition to the reference designation, test
points shall be identified on a diagram, by one
of the following methods:
(a) with the letters uTP" followed by a number
suffix. The number suffix should be assigned on
the diagram in sequence for troubleshooting con-
venience.
(b) with a special distinguishing symbol to in-
dicate the test polnt category (for example, major,
secondary, or minor). Test points within each
category may be identified by designation num-
bers or letters.
(c) with the test function indicated below the
reference designation.
15-8.10 Additional Circuit In/ormation
The following additional information, as ap-
plicable, may be included on Schematic Diagrams.
When diagrams are specifically prepared for
maintenance purposes, as much of this informa-
tion as is applicable shall be included. Additional
informacion should not be limited to the items
noted in this paragraph.
DC resistance of windings and coils (if more
than one ohm)
Critical input or output impedance values
Wave shapes (voltage or current) at significant
points
Wiring requirements for critical ground points,
shielding, pairing, etc.
Power or voltage ratings of parts
Indication of operational controls or circuit
functions
Caution notation for electrical hazards at main-
tenance points
19
Circuit voltage values at significant points (tube
pins, test points, terminal boards, etc.)
Significant circuit resistance values at desig-
nated leference points (information may be in
tabular form)
Zones (grid system) on complex Schematics.
When technical data is prepared from engineer-
ing drawings, zone reference may bet the same.
Circuit element zone locations (on complex
Schematics) in tabular form on the drawing or
associated document when such location in-
formation will facilitate use of the Schematic.
Signal flow direction in main signal paths shall
be emphasized.
15-8.10.1 Partial Reference Designation
Prefix
When it is necessary that a Schematic Dia-
gram convey for maintenance purposes the loca-
tion of a part within an overall unit consisting
of one or more subassemblies, the notation REF
DESIG PREFIX foilowed by an appropriate ref-
erence designation prefix shall be used, as shown
in Figure 8-22. The notation and prefix shall be
placed in the upper left corner of the mechanical-
grouping boundary line enclosure of the sub-
assembly immediately below or following the
subassembly name. By preceding the part or
subassembly reference designation, the prefix
conveys location within each sub-assembly level
of the unit. For example, the reference designa-
tions of parts within Al would be prefixed by
3Al, indicating that part is in subassembly Al
and that Al is within unit 3. For parts within
amplifier ARI, the prefix is 3AIARI. The com-
plete locational reference designation for C2 of
ARl, for example, would be 3AIARIC2.
IS-8.ll Examples 0/ Schematic Diagrams /or
a Complete Item
Figure 8-19 is an example of a conventional
Schematic which adequately serves manufacturing
purposes.
Figure 8-20 is an example of a schematic
wherein each stage is identified for ease in
understanding its function. In this form it may be
readily converted to add or emphasize mainte-
nance information in accordance with 15-8.10, in
which case it will be similar to Figure 8-21.
Figure 8-21 is an example of a maintenance
schematic in which the signal path is emphasized.

15-8.12 Single-Line Diagrams lor Microwave 15-8.12.3 DC Continuity and Discontinuity

Circuits
Single-line symbols shall be used in represent-
ing coaxial and waveguide parts on microwave-
circuit Schematic Diagrams. For the auxiliary
portions of the circuit such as power supply or
controls, single-line or complete symbols may
be used. For sample diagram, see Figure 8-24.
15-8.12.1 Transmission Path Recognition
Symbol
Type of transmission path, such as coaxial
or waveguide, need be indicated only at each end
of a path as long as the path remains of the same
type. See waveguide path from CPI to MT2 via
A4, AS and A6 on Figure 8-24. Additional recog-
nition symbols may be shown as required for
further clarification.
15-8.12.2 Connector and Flange Symbols
Transmission path separable connectors or
equipment flanges shall be identified only when
it is necessary to indicate the elecuical func-
tion or separable feature of these parts. See
representation of M2 and WI in Figure 8-24.
When the circuit includes DC and RF sig-
nals, DC continuity should be clearly shown. See
A3 and A5 of Figure 8-24. MT2 illustrates method
of indicating DC discontinuity. The discontinuity
symbol is used to indicate absence of direct
electrical connection between a waveguide and
the outer conductor of a coaxial cable at a point
where the tr:ansmission paths change from wave-
guide to coaxial or vice versa.
15-8.12.4 Pressure Seals
When it is necessary to indicate that certain
path sections of waveguide are sealed from other
paths of the circuit, a note similar to note I of
Figure 8-24 shall be used. This particular note
indicates that the path from EI via AIHYI, CPI,
A2S2, DCl, and ZI is a sealed path.
15-8.12.5 Subassemblies
Subassemblies such as mixers may be shown
with all parts represented as shown in A7 of
Figure 8-24, or, if such ietailed representation
is not essential, a general overall symbol may
be used as shown for A7.

15-9.1.4.2 Designations Denoting Location

15-9.1.3.1 Designation Location
Whenever possible, all wire design~tions
should be located either above or to the nght of
its line and terminal designations either below
or to th; left of its symbol as indicated in Figure
9-4. However, any other consistent system of
wire and terminal designation 10 cation may be
used.
15-9.1.4 Wire Designations
Wire designations are usually arbitrary iden-
tifications assigned to specific conductors.
These may comprise a series of numbers, char-
acters or symbols, or combinations of each, or
both. The following are a few examples:
1, 2, 3, etc. 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, etc.
A, B, C, etc. A-A, A-B, A-C, etc.
+, -, , etc. A+, A-, lA+, etc.
I-AI, 2-Al, 3-Al, etc.
Designations may also be used to denote
location as well as function. Figure 9-5 illus-
trates standard identification of bushing type
current transformers and leads. See NEMA SG4
Part 3. Designation IYl, for example, denotes
that the connection originates on circuit breaker
pole 1 as indicated by the first digit, the letter
Y denotes the upper transformer (further removed
from the breaker contacts) and the last digit 1,
the secondary winding tap number.
15-9.1.4.3 Assigned (Wire) Designations
The assigned wire designation for a con-
tinuous electrical connection should be retained
whenever practicable until the circuit charac-
teristic is altered. Figure 9-11 illustrate s good
drafting practice in this respect. In many in-
s.tances it is not practicable to retain the same
wire designation throughout because of estab-
lished terminal marking standards, differences in

29
 USA STANDARD DRAFTING PRACTICES

design, drafting and manufacturing practices.
However, the same designation shall be used be-
tween any two interconnected points. Figure
9-10, "52 Closing Circuit" and cc52 Tripping
Circuit," illustrates good drafting practice in
this' respect.
15-9.1.5 Terminal Designations
Standard terminal designations have been
applied to electric power apparatus such as
motors, generators, transformers, etc., and are
covered in USA Standard Terminal Markings
for Electrical Apparatus C6.1 and for power cir-
cuit breakers in USA Standard Power Circuit
Breaker Control C37.11. Where no standard term-
inal designation exists, amitrarily chosen desig-
nations may be used similar to the method de-
scribed in 15-9.1.4.

poses only. The terminals for each of the panels
where these devices are located shall be shown

connecting wires required between the panel
terminals can thus be seen. Reference may be
made to the associated interconnection diagrams.
However, any other consistent system of device,

tions of the current transformers. See Figures
9-7(A) and 9-7(B).
15-9.2 General Layout
The arrangement of the diagram should show
all circuits in the clearest manner. The follow-
ing requirements shall be observed in the prepara-
tion of the diagram.

15-9.2.1 Graphic Symbols
Symbols for Schematic Diagrams are intended
to indicate the operating functions. These sym-
bols are shorthand graphical representation and
are not necessarily intended to represent the
physical likeness of the device nor contain com-
plete electrical connections. Graphic symbols
shall be applied as described in 15-3.6.
15-9.2.2 Abbreviations
Abbreviations shall be applied as described
in 15-3.7.
15-9.2.3 Device Function Designations
15-9.2.3.1 Device Function Designations
for Power Switchgear
Device function designations as applied
to Power Switchgear shall conform wi th USA
Standard Manual and Automatic Station Control,
Supervisory, and Associated Telemetering Equip-
ments, C37.2 or other national-level standards if
the device function designation is not covered
in the USA Standard. Those device letters
which denote parts of the main device, and those
which cannot or need not form part of the device
function designation, are generally written direct-
ly below the device function "designation, as for
example, 52 or CS. If two or more devices with
LC T of horizontal or vertical parallel lines with de-
the same function designation and suffix letter
(if used) are present in the same equipment, they
may be distinguished by numbered suffixes, as
for example, 51-1, 51-2, and 51-3, when neces-
sary.
15-9.2.3.2 Device Function Designations
for Industrial Control
Device function designations as applied to
Industrial Control shall conform with NEMA
31
Standard ICI, Part 3 until a USA Standard is
issued.
15-9.2.4 Device Contacts
When necessary to understand the function of
a circuit, the sequence of operation of contacts
within a conuol or protective device should be
shown on the Schematic Diagram, or reference
made to the appropriate drawings. Consideration
should also be given to cross-referencing con-
in circuits remote from the operating coil. .In ad-
dition, the unused contacts of the devices may
also be shown.
15-9.2.5 Circuit Arrangements
The circuits should be arranged in functional
sequence, left to right or top to bottom. How-
ever, this should not be followed rigidly where
excessi ve line crossings would impair the clarity
of the diagram. In Figure 9-8, the pressure switch
PS when closed energizes device TR, whose
time closing contact then energizes device lCR ,
which in turn energizes device M.

15-9.2.8 Course of Circuit
Course of each circuit should be shown in
the most direct path. Refer also to 15-7.1.
15-9.2.9 Horizontal and Vertical Lines
Lines between symbols should be horizontal
or vertical with a minimum of line crossings, and
with spacing to avoid crowding. Refer to 15-7.2.
15-9.2.10 Phasing Indication
Phasing of alternating current components
should be indicated so that there is general
agreement with the actual physical arrangement
and suitable notes applied where necessary.
When physical arrangement is not the governing
factor, the phasing should be indicated in se-
quence, 1, 2, 3, N from left to right or top to
bottom.
15-9.2.11 Polarity Indication
Polarity of direct current components should
be indicated with a up" or U+" for positive,
uN" or (-) for negative, and CCPN" or for neu-
tral. Direct current busses should be shown in
sequence, positive, neutral, negative from left to
right or top to bottom when physical arrangement
is not the governing faccor.

USAS Y14.15 1966 15-10 CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
15-12 TERMINAL DIAGRAMS
 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS
15-10 Connection Diagrams
The following subparagraphs contain informa-
tion generally applicable to the preparation of
all types of Connection Diagrams.
15-10.1 purpose
(a) Furnish information showing electrical
connections between component devices or parts.
(b) Facilitate determination of electrical con-
nection adequacy.
(c) Facilitate maintenance of equipment.
(d) Supplement Schematic Diagrams by relating
circuit information with the actual wiring and
location of component devices or parts.
15-10.2 Types
Connection Diagrams covered in this standard
fall into three classifications. These are the
continuous-line type, the interrupted-line type
and the tabular type. These classifications are
based on the method of indicating connections
between component devices or parts and whether
the approach for conveying this information is or
is not essentially diagrammatic. The various
methods permit a selection which will satisfy the
requirements of a wide range of equipment design.
15-10.2.1 Continuous-Line Type
In this type of diagram, continuous lines,
generally representative of the actual between-
terminal conductors or cable paths, are shown
from symbol to symbol. Two somewhat similar
methods whereby continuous-line diagrams may
be prepared will be referred to as:
(a) Point-to-Point (15-10.4.1)
(b) Highway or Cable (15-10.4.2)
15-10.2.2 Interrupted-Line Type
Instead of continuous lines as used in the
preceding method, connecting lines in this type
of diagram start at a symbol and are interrupted
a short distance away. Two rather similar me-
thods whereby interrupted-line type of diagrams
may be prepared will be referred to as:
(a) Base-line (15-10.5.1)
(b) Feed-line (15-10.5.1)
15-10.2.3 Tabular Type
In the tabular arrangement of information,
15-10.6, connections between component de-
vices or parts are listed in a FROM-TO type of
tabulation which includes all the information
necessary to identify the connections. A symbolic
or pictorial representation showing the relative
location of the component devices or parts, with
or without connecting lines, should be referenced
on or accompany the tabulation.
15-10.3 Common Requirements
While there are differences in the methods of
preparation, and types of diagrams mentioned in
the preceding paragraphs, there are certain re-
39
quirements which are common to all of them. The
paragraphs that immediately follow cover these
common requirements, and while they will apply
to a greater extent to continuous- and interrupted-
line diagrams, the same requirements are ap-
plicable to tabular-type diagrams. The common
requirements paragraphs are followed by para-
graphs on specific requirements applicable to the
different types of diagrams covered in this stan-
dard.
15-10.3.1 Equipment Views
The view or views of an equipment that are
required for a Connection Diagram are those
which will most clearly show the terminals or
wiring sides of the component devices or parts
as they are mounted in the equipment. In most
instances, one view as seen from the wiring side
of the items should be sufficient. This view will
generally correspond to the view of the items
as seen during wiring. More than one view is
usually required when the equipment is wired
from both front and rear. Component devices or
parts with more than one level of terminals may
also require more than one view. Typical ex-
amples of the type of equipment arrangement for
which more than one wiring view is needed are
shown in Figures 10-I(B) and 10-2(B). The Con-
nection Diagram representations of these views
are shown in Figures 10-I(C) and 10-2(C).
15-10.3.2 Princ'ipal and Auxiliary Wiring
View Selection
When practicable, the side of the equipment
or mounting surface that shows a majority of the
wired items from the wiring side should be se-
lected as the view for establishing a plane of
reference for the Connection Diagram. This plane
thus becomes the principal plane of reference.
For example, when wired items mount in planes
perpendicular to or at an angle to the selected
principal plane, these auxiliary planes shall be
rotated or revolved into the principal plane or
planes of the diagram.
Planes that are merely revolved in position
should be shown adjoining the principal plane or
view. See rotation of sides of equipment shown
in Figures 10-I(C) and 10-2(C). Planes such as
those identified in Figure 10-I(C) as auxiliary
planes should be oriented exactly as these equip-
ment planes would appear when viewed from a
normal wiring position.
Auxiliary planes may be positioned at the
same location where they have been revolved or
they may be shown slightly apart from the princi-
pal view with an appropriate identification; see
Figure 10-I(C). Views represented as auxiliary
planes shall be enclosed with phantom lines in
order to define the boundary limits of these
planes.

FIGURE 10-2 - VIEWING DIRECTION - TYPICAL FOR CABINET TYPE OF EQUIPMENT

It should be noted that the viewing planes
referred to in this paragraph are primarily for
purposes of showing terminals diagrammatically
in as simple a manner as possible. For this
reason, the methods of view representation are
not bound by the rules governing the relationship
of views projected orthographically.
15-10.3.3 Representation of Component De-
vices and Parts
Symbols for connection diagrams are in-
tended to represent each item or terminal of the
equipment that is to be wired. Component de-
vices and parts may be represented with symbols
in one of two ways. The symbols may be of
simple geometric shape (rectangle or circle) or
the symbols may be of the circuit schematic type.
When the rectangular or circular shape is used
only terminal circles are shown within these
shapes. The circle shall be used only when the
component device or part shape closely approxi-
mates a circle; otherwise a rectangle shall be
used. When circuit schematic symbolization is
required as shown in Figures 10-15 and 10-16,
USA Standard Y32.2 shall be consulted.
15-10.3.4 Component Devices or Parts Sym-
bol Size
No attempt should be made to show exact
differences in size among component devices or
parts especially when they are basically similar
in shape or function. Differentiation between
maximum and minimum sizes shall be accom-
plished so that the largest shall not appear too
large nor the smallest too small. For example, a
symbol of suitable size may be used to represent
similar items when physical size variation is
minor. In general, the symbol shape shall be
drawn as small as it is convenient to do so,
consistent with a clear, well proportioned repre-
sentation, and large enough to contain item or
terminal designations.
15-10.3.5 Terminals
Component device or part terminals, standoff
terminals and binding posts, when shown, should
be represented as small circles. To insure clarity
on full size drawings, a circle diameter of not
less than 0.06 inch shall be used. Terminals
should be shown as circles even when physical
appearance differs markedly from the circular
form.

15-10.3.5.1 Perpendicular Planes
To facilitate showing terminals that are
in a plane perpendicular to the item mounting
surface, the sides of the item containing the
terminals may be revolved into the plane of the
drawing as shown in Figure 10-3.

15-10.3.5.2 Terminal Boardsor Strips
The terminals of terminal boards or strips
may be represented in one of three ways:
(a) as circles enclosed in a rectangle, as shown
in Figure 10-4(A).
(b) without enclosing rectangles and with the
terminals arranged in an order convenient for
wiring; see Figure 10-4(B).
(c) as subdivided rectangles, where the sub-
divisions represent terminals; see Figure 10-4(C).
15-10.3.6 Arrangement of Component De-
vices or Parts
The arrangement of symbols in the diagram
shall closely approximate the relative location of
the items as shown on the assembly drawing or
as located on the actual equipment; see Figures
10-1 and 10-2. Within reasonable limits, symbol
placement may differ from the actual arrange-
ment in order to avoid unnecessary crowding of
connecting lines and designations, or to simplify
the layout.
15-10.3.6.1 Critical Location
When part locations are electrically cri-
tical to the extent that locations must be speci-
fied precisely, a two or three dimensional delinea-
tion may be used. This delineation shall show
the relative location of the critically sensitive
parts and wiring with respect to other parts,
wires or areas. For this purpose, the outlines of

the parts may be simplified, if essential informa-
tion is not omitted. Notes in combination with a
simplified view may be used when this method
will satisfactorily convey locational require-
ments and thereby reduce drafting effort.
15-10.3.7 Equipment Device or Part Orienta-
tion
Diagrams shall show front views of front-
connected items or rear views of rear-connected
items, or a combination of both to clearly in-
dicate connections. The diagram or sections of
diagram shall be marked to show the appropriate
view and orientation. When orientation cannot be
clearly shown, reference should be made to phys-
ical arrangement drawings or to supplementary
notations or designations. For items which can-
not be clearly located in relation to the main as-
sembly, additional information should be given to
assure proper connection. When an item is mounted
perpendicular to a panel, the end that is nearest
the panel shall be indicated. For such indication,
see X designation in Figure 10-9 and note for
R2 in Figure 10-10.
15-10.3.8 Designations
Designations for equipments, it~ms, com-
ponent devices, parts, etc., shown on Connec-
 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS
tion Diagrams shall correspond to those shown
on the associated Schematic or Elementary
Diagram.
15-10.3.8.1 Axial Lead and Pigtail Parts
Identification of lead-mounted parts is
preferably indicated by showing the part designa-
tion within the part symbol outline; see Figures
10-12, 10-17, and 10-20. For all other parts,
designations may be shown either outside or in-
side the part symbol depending on preference.
15-10.3.8.2 Terminal or Wire Designations
Terminal and wire riesignations shall
agree with designations assigned on the related
Schematic, Elementary Diagrams or Assembly
Drawings. If these designations have not been
assigned on tne related drawings, then the in-
dication of them on the Connection Diagram shall
agree with markings on the equipmen t.
15-10.3.8.3 Wiring Tie Point Designations
Terminals which are used as wiri;og tie
f10ints or connection points, but which are not
identified on the Schematic Diagram, shall be as-
signed ccWT" numbers on the Connection Diagram.
For example, WTl, WT2, etc. See Figures 10-20
and 10-24{B).

15-10.3.9 Device or Part Rating, Type,
Range or Scale Indication
Rating, type, range or scale of a device or
part should be indicated as shown in the ex-
amples of Figure 10-5. To assure correct iden-
tification, the rating of circuit breakers, contac-
tors, instrument transformers, fuses, resistors,
etc., should be located close to the associated
symbol, or shown in tabular form. The type,
rating, range or scale of protective relays, in-
struments, meters, etc., should be located within
or close to the symbol unless this information is
provided on other drawings or documents to which
reference is made; see also Figure 10-15.
15-10.3.10 Wire or Cable Size and Type
15-10.3.10.1 Identification
The preferred method of identifying wire
and cable construction is by means of a drawing
note. In such a note, the general rule is to iden-
tify the wire size. The type of wire construction
may be specified by code or specification num-
ber. Several typical forms of wire identification
covering various wire items are given in the
following examples along with an explanation of
each item of identification.
Direct identification of No. 14 American Wire
size . . . . . . . 14AWG Gage Wire
Direct identification of Nominal dia .0640
size . 0640 diameter No. 14 AWG wire
(14AWG)
Direct identification of 22AWG wire with
size and type of insula- covering of double
tion . . . . . 22DNCCB nylon, single cotton,
and cotton braid
Identification of size One pair of 20 AWG
directly and of insula- wires with covering
tion by code or specifi- per code L or
cation number . L20P Specification
Identification of size Wires per B code
and type of insulation covering size
with code letter .. B and type
15-10.3.10.2 Method of Identification on
Diagram
When all or most of the wires on a Con-
nection Diagram are of the same size and type,
wire specification shall be given in a drawing
note, for example:
ALL WIRES SHALL BE 22AWG STRANDED PER
(Spec. No.) UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED.
Wires which differ from the general specification
covered in the note may be identified directly
on or within the feed line; see Figures 10-10 and
10-17. This may be done also with a leader line
 PROPOSED USA STANDARD DRAFTING PRACTICES
directed to the feed line, see EU designation at
part location 13 in Figure 10-20. In the tabular
type of Connection Diagram, this information
shall be shown in the appropriate column.
15-10.3.10.3 Wire Color or Color Code
Placement
Wire color designations (15-3.11), whether
letters or numbers, shall be placed, in general,
at both ends of a connecting line or as near as
possible to each terminal end. However, a single
appearance of the color designation may be suf-
ficient when the ends of a continuous connecting
line are obvious. When wire color is the only
wire data shown on a connecting or feed line,
the color designation may be shown within the
line; otherwise the data should be shown above
the line.
15-10.3.11 Direct or Surface Wiring
The designation "DIR" (direct wiring) or
"SUR" (surface wiring) applies to wiring which
is not part of the cable assembly (wiring harness)
but which is run from terminal to terminal accord-
ing to the following methods:
(1) DIR - wires run directly from termin~l to
terminal with a minimum of slack.
(2) SUR - wires run from terminal to terminal in
the most convenient manner. When it is neces-
sary to distinguish these wires from wires which
are included in a cable assembly, the designa-
tions DIR or SUR should be used to identify
these wires as being apart from cable assembly
wires.
For typical examples of DIR and SUR wire
specifications, see Figure 10-17 and for typical
drawing note, see Figure 10-20, note 3.
15-10.3.12 Critical Wiring
When circuit functions are so sensitive as
to be affected by wire path, direction, or position,
the wiring involved is regarded as "critical."
Critical conditions may involve not only wire
path but also positioning of pigtail parts which
mount by the leads furnished; see 15-10.3.6.1.
Such critical wiring requirements can frequently
be covered by drawing notes. However, in ex-
ceptional cases, a two or three dimensional de-
lineation drawn to scale may be required for a
more precise specification of requirements.
15-10.3.13 Leads - Pigtail (PGT)
The term "pigtail lead" is used in re ferring
to leads which are furnished with the item and
are permanently connected to it. When it is ne-
cessary to distinguish these leads (usually when
colored and of the nonaxial type) from other wir-
ing, the leads shall be designated PGT. When it
is readily apparent that the PGT lead is of the
axial type, the designation may be omitted; see
44
Figure 10-17, parts designated respectively T2
and R2.
15-10.3.14 Phasing Indication
Phasing of alternating current equipment
should be indicated so that there is general
agreement with the actual physical arrangement
and suitable notes shall be used when necessary;
see Figure 10-16. When physical arrangement is
not the governing factor, the phasing should be
indicated in sequence 1, 2, 3, N from left to
right or top to bottom.
15-10.3.15 Polarity Indication
Polarity 0 f direct current devices should be
indicated with a P or + for positive, N or - for
negative, and PN or for neutral; see Figure
10-15. Direct current busses should be shown in
sequence positive, neutral, negative from left to
right or top to bottom when physical arrangement
is not the governing factor. When it is necessary
to indicate the polarity or orientation of term-
inals, the feature whereby the polarity or orienta-
tion is indicated on the equipment, device or
part shall be noted on the diagram; see CRI and
CR2 in Figures 10-12 and 10-20.

Openings, circular or otherwise, in mounting

cated with a phantom line and identified as
HOLE 1, HOLE 2, etc.; see Figures 10-17 and
21. When connecting lines representing the wires
are shown passing through the hole, the lines
may be drawn to the edge of the hole or run
across it depending on which method is more
convenient for the type of Connection Diagram
bein$ prepared. The method of Figure 10-6(A)
 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS
should be used when a hole is shown in separated'
views (principal and auxiliary) on the drawing. In
this method corresponding feed lines should be
identified with wire color or other wire data. The
method of Figure 10-6(B) should be used when a
view is rotated in place as illustrated in Figure
10.20.
15-10.3.17 Additional Cable Stitch Indication
The designations STl, ST2, ST3, etc., are
used to indicate additional cable stitches when
such additions are required. The additional stitch
designation is intended to be used when several
wires of the same color connect to the same item
as shown in Figure 10-7. At installation and dur-
ing maintenance, connection of these wires is
considerably facilitated if the wires of like color
emerge from the cable body at separate cable
stitches, rather than from a single stitch as
would normally be the case. For a typical ap-
plication of an additional designation, see yel-
low wires connecting to electron tube socket
XVI of Figure 10-17. The need for additional
stitches should be avoided, if possible, by the
proper choice of wire color. Loops such as il-
lustrated in Figure 10-7 require only one stitch.

15-10.3.18 Prewired Connections
Prewired connections may be indicated by
anyone of the following methods:
(a) Dash lines used for indicating con-
nection from terminal to terminal with no regard
as to whether the lines are shown inside or out-
side of the symbol outline.
45
(b) Solid lines shown within the symbol
outline.
(c) Drawing note directed to connecting
line with a leader line indicating that connection
is prewired.
Method (a) or (b) should be supplemented by
a drawing note explaining the line symbols used.
Solid lines outside of the symbol outline shall
always indicate wiring which must be provided.
F or typical application of method (a) see Figure
10-17 and for method (b) see Figure 10-13.
15-10.3.19 Twisted Wire Designations
To indicate that two or more wires are
twisted, letter designations may be used in ac-
cordance with the following:
P - Two twisted wires, Pair
T - Three twisted wires, Triple
Q - Four twisted wires, Quad
For typical applications of the symbol for pair,
see Figures 10-10, 10-11 and 10-20.
15-10.3.20 Symbols
USA Standard Y32.2 electrical and electronics
diagram graphic symbols frequently used for wir-
ing on Connection Diagrams are shown in Figure
10-8 for ease of reference.
15-10.3.21 Drawing Notes
Drawing notes should be placed preferably
at the right side of the drawing sheet, as shown
in Figures 10-10, 10-19, and 10-20. In general
the notes may include information on:
(a) wires which are included in or excluded from
the cable assembly
(b) soldering procedures, if any, which need to
be specified
(c) such wiring designations or symbols which
need to be identified or explained
(d) gage and type of wiring
(e) any additional wiring information or instruc-
tion.
15-10.4 Continuous-Line Type
15-10.4.1 Point-to-Point Diagrams
In point-to-point Connection Diagrams,
separate connecting lines represent the actual
terminal-to-terminal connections which are to be
provided on the equipment; see Figures 10-9 and
10-10. On this type of Connection Diagram, con-
necting line layout or arrangement is not in-
tended to convey actual or preferred conductor
path location. However, connection sequence
should be determined on the basis of the most
suitable path from terminal to terminal and ac-
cording to whether wiring harnesses, raceways,
cleats, etc., will be provided. Another determin-
ing factor will be whether the path of cable
(harness) is indicated on the Assembly Drawing.
 PROPOSED USA STANDARD DRAFTING PRACTICES

",--INCICATION 15-10.4.1.1 Application

.$PL Ie OO;T IW~:fL The point-to-point method is useful mainly
for the representation of wiring information for
~PLICED CONNECTION the less complex equipments that may consist of
relatively few items. If use of the point-to-point
method results in a diagram difficult to read be-
cause of the number of adjacent and crossing
connecting lines, another of the subsequent
methods in this standard should be considered.
15-10.4.2 Highway or Cable Diagrams
CABLE (PREFABRICATED) The Highway or Cable Connection Diagram
is basically similar to the Point-to-Point Diagram
with the exception that groups of connecting
lines are merged into lines called highways or
cables in stead of being shown in their entire run
as individual line.s; see Figures 10-11, 10-12,
10-13, 10-15 and 10-16.
15-10.4.2.1 Feed Lines
From the component device or part termi-
SHIELDING FOR WIRE OR CABLE nals, short lines which will be referred to as
"feed lines" are drawn perpendicular to the high-
way or cable line. At the point where the feed
line enters the highway or cable line, direction
of wire run in the highway may be indicated when
necessary with an inclined or curved line; see

-t-t-t-F-
CONNECTION TO ~HIELOING
Figure 10-11. Crossovers of inclined or curved
portions of feed lines should be avoided by
choice of angle or radius.
15-10.4.2.2 Wire Data
When wire data is shown on feed lines,
it should include wire destination (item refer-
ence designation, wiring path number, or lead
designation) and if required also wire color, code,
or type. This information may be shown adjacent
to or within the feed line; see Figures 10-12 and
10-16. If wire data(color, type, etc.) is not speci-
COAXIAL SHIELD CONNECTION fied on feed lines or in drawing notes, this in-
formation shall be shown in a separate wire data
list. This list may appear on the same sheet, or
on a separate sheet of the same drawing or on a
separate drawing.
~ )))) 15-10.4.2.3 Highway or Cable Lines
In highway layout, unidentified branch-
ing points shall be avoided. Either additional
l )))) highways or a method of branch identification
such as shown in Figure 10-13 should be used.
More than one highway or cable line may also
be used to facilitate indication of wire runs or to

IIII indicate grouping of particular wires into cable

GROUPING OF CONDUCTORS

USED ON CONNECTION DIAGRAMS
assemblies (harness); see Figures 10-12 and
10-13.
Another use of a separate highway or
cable line is to indicate which wires have to be
segregated for electrical reasons. A drawing
note with the aid of a symbol, if necessary, shall
identify the highways or cable as being part of
the same or different cable assemblies.

15-10.4.2.4 Critical and Segregated Wiring
Critical wiring shall not be included in a
cable or highway line, but shall be run separately
in accordance with 15-10.3.12. Wires which must
be segregated for electrical reasons from other
wires but which are not otherwise critical may
also be shown separately or run directly from
term in al to terminal.
15-10.5 Interrupted Line Type
15-10.5.1 Basic-Line or Feed-Line Diagrams
In the base-line and feed-line methods of
preparing Connection Diagrams, connecting lines
start at a symbol and are interrupted a short dis-
tance away. In the base-line method these lines
are terminated in a base line for convenience of
alignment, while in the feed-line method, no base
line is used.
Point-to-point continuous lines, if used, are
limited usually to the indication of short-
connection runs between terminals of the same or
adjacent parts or to the indication of axial-lead
part connections. Except for these uses of con-
tinuous lines, continuity between the interrupted
lines is conveyed by destination information at
the ends of the feed lines. This destination may
be given as letters or numbers which locate the

symbol on the diagram. Connect ion continuity
may be further facilitated by the indication of
wire colors on the feed lines. Wire color indica-
tion is particularly helpful when several wires
emerge from a cable arm as a group and connect
to a cluster of terminals on an item.
F or explanation of nomenclature applicable
to the base-Line or feed-Line methods and for
typical Connection Diagrams prepared according
to these methods, see Figures 10-17, 10-18,
10-19, and 10-20.
15-10.5.1.1 Layout
I n addition to representing relative com-
ponent device or part locations, space between
symbols shall also be provided for the accom-
modation of base lines and feed lines.
15-10.5.1.2 Component Device or Part
Locations - Base-Line Method
For the establishment of item locations
in the base-line method, location numbers shall
be assigned in numerically ascending sequence
starting with one, from left to right and top down
or equivalent logical order. When required, loca-
tion numbers may be assigned on the basis of
major mounting surface divisions, but following

15-10.5.1.8 Wire Color Indication
Wire colors, when shown, shall be indi-
cated on each feed line. On a feed line that
represents two or more wires, each of a different
color, the colors shall be indicated in the same
order in which the destination location numbers
appear on the feed line, see Figure 10-17, Rl.
When the wires are mostly of the same color, the
colors shall be covered by a drawing note; see
Note 2, Figure 10-20. In general, the wire color
should be shown approximately midway on feed
lines.
15-10.5.1.9 Wires - Pigtail
Bare pigtail wires furnished with the parts
shall be run directly to terminals on a point-to-
point basis whenever po ssible. Insulated pigtail
wires furnished with the parts shall be designated
C cPGT." Colors of colored pigtail wires shall be
indicated on the feed lines; see Figure 10-17.
15-10.5.1.10 Letter Suffixes for Wire Iden-
tification
When two or more terminals of one part are
to be connected to terminals of another part with
wire of the same color (surface or direct wiring);
a suffix letter shall be added to the feed line
destination number as a means of differentiating
similarly colored wires; see Figures 10-17 and
10-20.

FIGURE 10-21 - COMPREHENSIVE METHOD OF TABULATING WIRING CONDITIONS

15-10.6 Tabular Type 15-10.6.1 If/iring Information Arrangement

In the tabular method, wlflOg information is
arranged in tabular form (sometimes called a
Running List) rather than shown on feed lines of
a diagram; see Figures 10-21 and 10-25(A). Such
tabular listing of wiring information may be ac-
companied or supplemented with component de-
vice or part locational information shown diagram-
matically; see Figure 10-22. However, when loca-
tions within an equipment can be readily de-
termined through the application of a coordinate
locational system established for the equipment,
the diagrammatic information may be omitted en-
tirely or reduced substantially.
Details of tabular arrangement of information
and number of items covered may vary with in-
dividual needs. The following basic information
shall be included as applicable.
(a) FROM-TO Information. The terms "From"
and "To" are used to differentiate between the
ends of a connection. "From-to" information shall
include the identity (location and designation,
terminals, etc.) for each connection point end.
Notes, manufacturing information, etc., may also
be included in the connection point infonnation.
(b) WIRE Information. Wire information shall
identify the wire size and type used for each

connection. The portion of such information
which is common to a majority of the connec-
tions may be included in a general note; see
15-10.3.10. Wire gage, color or code should be
included in the tabulation when this information
is needed to facilitate connection and main-
tenance; see Figures 10-21 and 10-25(A).
(c) PATH, ROUTING, VIA Information. In-
formation concerning wire path, raceways, cable
routes, hole locations, etc., should be included
in the tabu lation when such information is not
shown elsewhere and its indication is essential
to the proper wiring of the equipment. As an
alternative to showing path or route information
in the tabulation, it may be shown instead in the
supplementary equipment diagram accompanying
the tabulated information.
(d) NOTES, FUNCTION, or REMARKS. Wire
run requirements such as sleeving data, wire
terminals, special jumpers, and functional lead
designations applicable from one point of con-
nection to the other may be included.
15-10.6.2 Tabulation Sequence
The sequence selected for listing entries
in a table should be compatible with the applica-
tion of the information and the type of equipment
involved. This application will determine the
sequence selection on the basis of whether the
information is to be used mainly for manufacture,
installation or maintenance or any combination of
these. The type of equipment structure (chassis,
panel, cabinet, bay or frame) and the manner in
which component devices or parts are arranged
are also factors in the sequencing. The type of
equipment will usually determine the method of
item designation (identification) used, it may be
reference, locational or functional. Tabulation
sequence and the listing method used shall be
spec ified on the diagram.
15-10.6.2.1 Listing Methods
Connections between component devices
or parts may be listed in a sequence based on
one or more of the following considerations:
(a) Component device or part location in
or on equipment chassis, panel, bay, frame, etc.
(Conveyance of this location will depend upon
the system of designation used; reference, 10-
cational, or functional.) A listing sequence of
entries in the table based on a top-down and left-
to-right scan of the wiring side of the equipment
is preferred from a wiring performance stand-

see Figure 10-24(B). The terminals to which the
ends of the part connect shall be listed in the
FROM and TO columns.
15-10.6.5.1 Polarity or Orientation of
Axial-Lead Parts
When it is necessary to indicate polarity
or orientation based on marks such as + or - that
appear on the part, an appropriate symbol shall
be used; see Figure 10-24(C). When such sym-
bols are used, an explanatory note shall be in-
cluded.
15-10.6.6 Supplementary Data
Tabular lists that appear on separate sheets
as multisheet drawings should be supplemented
with equipment layout information showing the
following:
(a) Relative location of all portions of units
that have to be wired within or on the equipment.
If all the portions are not shown in detail in the
layout, reference to drawings containing the de-
tailed information should be indicated.
(b) Terminal arrangement and identification
of unmarked terminals of items. The data should
show a wiring side view of the terminal arrange-
ment. A recommended sequence assignment of
terminal identification is a left-to-right and top-
to-bottom order.
(c) Special wiring arrangements shown pic-
torially which cannot be conveyed with tabular
information alone.
(d) Paths of cable harnesses when such
paths are not readily determined. For typical
illustrations showing general equipment layout
information, see Figure 10-22.
1)11 Interconnection Diagrams (In Process)
15-12 Terminal Diagrams
The following subparagraphs contain in-
formation specifically applicable to diagrams of
the type often supplied for multi-terminal en-
closed or sealed devices, such as electron tubes,
semiconductor devices, packaged circuits and
similar items. For typical Terminal Diagrams,
see Figures 12-1 and 12-4.
The function of a Terminal Diagram may also
be performed by a Pictorial Diagram showing:
(a) the physical relations of the terminals
to the device outline, and
(b) the terminal designations assigned or
marked together with a table or a Schematic Dia-
gram relating the circuit or device parts to the
terminal designations.
15-12.1 Circuit Representation
The circuit of the item depicted shall be
represented using graphic symbols in the usual
mali(ler. An envelope symbol or an enclosing
66
circle shall be shown if applicable; in all other
cases the mechanical-grouping boundary line
shall be used to outline the circuit.
Circuits composed of more than one component
part shall have the individual parts identified,
preferably by reference designations. Component
part values shall be indicated and be placed either
adjacent to the part symbols or in a separate
tabulation. Circuits composed of many intercon-
nected component parts are preferably shown by
a Schematic Diagram (see Figures 8-23 and 12-4),
accompanied by an Assembly Drawing showing
the necessary physical relationships and term-
inal designations.
15-12.2 Terminal Representation and A"ange-
ment .
The terminals of the items shall be represented
using the applicable graphic symbols located ad-
jacent to the envelope or boundary line and ar-
ranged as follows:
(a) The terminals shall be located in the order
they appear when the item is viewed from outside
the terminal face of the device.
(b) If the device terminals are in a circular
arrangement, the actual angular spacing between
the terminals should be approximated on the
Terminal Diagram.
(c) If the terminals are in an essentially
linear arrangement, the Terminal Diagram may
show the terminals in either a linear array along
one side of the elongated envelope symbol (pref-
erable), or within a maximum angle of 150 de-
grees around the circular envelope symbol.
(d) If terminals are omitted in an otherwise
standard terminal array, the remaining terminals
shall not be respaced.
 ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONICS DIAGRAMS
o
Connect the terminals to the circuit inside the
outline; see Figures 12-1 through 12-4.
15-12.3 Orientation Features
Symmetrical terminal configurations usually
have an orientation reference in the form of:
(a) a locating guide or mechanical index, a
physical feature to prevent incorrect insertion ,of
the device in its mounting (key, bayonet pm,
terminal omission in symmetrical pattern, etc.), or
(b) a reference mark or visual index positively
located with respect to the terminal group, or
(c) terminal markings.
Orientation symbols shall be indicated at their
proper location on the Terminal Diagram; see
Figures 12-2(E) and 12-3.
15-12.4 Terminal Arrangement Designations
Devices having a base or terminal arrangement
conforming to an established mechanical design
standard shall have the standard designation for
the tenninal arrangement shown adjacent to the
Terminal Diagram; see Figure 12-1. However, on
diagrams intended for other than engineering or
design purposes, mechanical design standard
designations may be omitted.
15-12.5 Terminal Identification
If terminal identifications have been assigned,
they shall be shown on the Terminal Diagram at
the assigned positions.
New terminal configurations should have their
terminal identifications assigned as follows:
(a) Terminals or contact pins should be iden-
tified by numbers.
(b) Terminals should be designated in suc-
cession, based on the maximum possible number
of terminals. If terminals are omitted, the re-
maining terminals shall not be renumbered; see
Figure 12-1(B).
(c) For circular configurations, or elsewhere
if applicable, terminal numbering shall begin with
the first terminal, the center of which is past (in
a clockwise direction) the datum line (15-12.5.1)
as viewed from outside the terminal face of the
device. If omission of a terminal in an otherwise
equally spaced array identifies the datum line,
the position of the omitted terminal shall not be
numbered.
67
(d) For terminals in an essentially equally
spaced linear array, the terminal positions shall
be numbered progressively beginning with the
terminal nearest the reference mark and counting
any intermediate positions which could provide
space for a terminal; see Figure 12-3.
(e) Terminals in one linear array shall be num-
bered progressively from the left side, where the
left side is defined as having the most terminals.
This shall be employed only if (d) is not applica-
ble.
(f) If a device has several standard terminal
groups, the terminal identifications may be es-
tablished independently for each group.
(g) If a terminal configuration has terminals
in concentric circles of decreasing diameters,
the terminal positions on the circles shall be
numbered sequentially continuing from the high-
est numbered position on the outer circle, al-
way s numbering in ~ clockwise direction along a
decreasing spiral. The datum line is the refer-
ence used for the outer pin circle only.
(h) In the case of devices with terminals
emerging from more than one plane the numbering
shall start on the end:
(1) Opposite to the end containing a threaded
stud or hole.
(2) Opposite to the end with the smallest
number of terminals.
(3) Opposite to the end identified by a
band, dot, or other applied visual identifica-
tion.
(4) Opposite to the end with the larger
ferrule, flange, insert, etc.
(i) A terminal at the center of the terminal
arrangement shall be identified as the CENTER
terminal lead or pin, and shall not be given a
terminal number.
(j) Whenever polarity of a device is to be
indicated, a polarity symbol + or - should be
used.
15-12.5.1 Terminal Group Datum Lines
The datum line is a radial line used as a
starting point for numbering tenninals in a cir-
cularly arranged array.
A datum shall be chosen in the following
order of preference. If two cases apply, the
method appearing first in the list shall be used.
(a) The radial line from the center of the
terminal group through the center of the key, key-
way, or index.
(b) The radial line midway between the two
terminals which obviously comprise a gap in an
otherwi se equally spaced circular terminal array.
(c) The radial line midway between:
(1) The two large contact tenninals
(2) The two small contact tenninals
(d) The radial line 1800 from the locating
radius of the most isolated terminals.
