Abstract
A plural level system to achieve simplicity in wiring connections in an electronics bay. The system involves the assigning of wire separation categories for panel connections and incorporates one or more separation dedicated connectors for each category and connects these via integration wire bundles and proper terminals of integration disconnects on the opposite end of the system.
Claims4
A plural level wiring interface system for making electrical circuit connections comprising in combination:
- a plurality of separation dedicated connectors, through which wire is separated and routed to prevent malfunction of a system;
- a plurality of integration disconnects coupled in said wiring interface system;
- a plurality of integration and distribution wire bundles including utilization of wire breakouts from a bundle body coupling between said plurality of separation dedicated connectors and said plurality of integration disconnects, and,
- said integrated wire bundles kept separate from each other and routed to an integration disconnect thereby preventing failure from one bundle from affecting failure in another bundle.
A method of providing a piural level wiring interface system for connecting wire bundles to eliminate wiring integration areas comprising the steps of:
- providing a plurality of integration wire bundles containing wire between separation dedicated connectors and integration disconnects;
- a plurality of distribution wire bundles, containing wire between integration wire bundles or including wire breakouts from the bundle body for coupling between a plurality of separation dedicated connectors and plurality of integration disconnects;
- said plurality of integration wire bundles utilized to route wire in localized areas;
- and,
- said distribution wire bundles routing wire of similar separation from connections with said integration wire bundles to connections on other integration wire bundles of similar separation;
- and,
- said distribution wire bundles utilized for routing wire between integration areas.
