WireEnd

A WireEnd is the end of a wire. This class mainly needed for the definition of a contacting. As a wire can be contacted on more than two ends (e.g. IDC) the WireEnd has a position on the wire.

Attributes

Name Type Mult. Description Owning Classifier
identification String 0..1

Specifies a unique identification of the WireEnd. The identification is guaranteed to be unique within the WireElementReference.

WireEnd
positionOnWire Double 1

Specifies the order of the WireEnds on the WireElementReference. This must be a value between 0 and 1. The PositionOnWire is defined as a floating point number, to allow the ordering of an arbitrary number of WireEnds while having constant known values for the first and last WireEnd ("0.0" & "1.0"). The PositionOnWire is not defined as a relative factor with respect to the WireLength to determine an exact position of the WireEnd on the wire. This would not be defined unambiguously, since a WireElementReference can define multiple lengths of different WireLengthTypes. If such an interpretation can be made, it is tool or process specific definition.

In case of WireRole with multiple WireElementReferences the ordering of the WireEnds shall be consistent for all WireElementReferences. That means that all WireEnds with PositionOnWire = 0.0 are on the same side of the WireRole.

WireEnd
cutBackLength NumericalValue 0..1

Defines the length, by which this WireEnd is cut back relative to the cut length of the outer most WireElementReference (see strippingLength for an example).

WireEnd
strippingLength NumericalValue 0..1

Defines the length by which an insulation on this stripped relative to this WireEnd, defined by the cutBackLength. E.g. a cutBackLength of 20mm and a strippingLength of 10mm means, that this WireElementReference is cutback by 20mm relative to length of whole wire, on the side of the defining WireEnd. Form the remaining WireElementReference are then 10mm insulation removed.

Role Mult. Agg. Unique Ordered Type Mult. Description
associatedWireEnds 0..* N Y N WireTupleTermination 0..*
referencedWireEnd 1..* N Y N WireMounting 0..*

References the wire ends that are used for the wire mounting. The minimum cardinality is one, because a wire mounting without wire end makes no sense.

The maximum cardinality is * in order to support multi crimps.

referencedWireEnd 1..* N Y N WireMountingDetail 0..* References the WireEnds that are mounted to referenced WireReception. A cardinality of more than one is allowed in order support parallel connectors, where multiple wire ends are placed on one side of the connector (one wire reception) and the other wire ends are placed on the other side of the connector (the other wire reception).
wireEnd 0..* Y Y N WireElementReference 1 Specifies the ends of the WireElementReference for contacting purposes.
