Connection
A Connection is a mechanism to specify the electrical connectivity between two or more contact points. A connection describes the connectivity of a Wire_occurrence or a Core_occurrence. It shall not be confused with the connections defined in the electrical design (schematic or wiring).

Attributes
| Name | Type | Mult. | Description | Owning Classifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Id | String | 0..1 | The id specifies the identifier of the Connectivity. The values are company specific. They can depend also on wire parameters. Example: electrical potential, start->destination |
Connection |
| Description | String | 0..1 | The description specifies additional information about the object. |
Connection |
| Localized_description | Localized_string | 0..* | The description specifies additional information about the object. The Localized_description provides the possibility to define descriptions for different language codes. |
Connection |
| Signal_name | String | 0..1 | The signal_name specifies logical information on a Connection. Example: packet on a bus, analogue voltage (high/low, waved) on a wire. |
Connection |
| Signal_type | String | 0..1 | Defines the type of a signal like (BUS, ENERGY, GROUND, …). Special values have to be negotiated between exchange partners. |
Connection |
| Nominal_voltage | String | 0..1 | Defines the nominal voltage of a signal like (12V, 24V, 48V, HV, …). Special values have to be negotiated between exchange partners. |
