As accessory parts in the ECAD environment represent a far more complicated structure than pure lists of article numbers, the accessory parts in the present case must be defined in two sections. On the one hand, the usual PSOL accessories solution ( PARTproject -> tab page References [Links] -> Links to parts ) and on the other side the mechanism that links the accessory data with the electrical classification. The background to this is the fact that, for example, a connector with crimp connections can have a whole range of different accessories for each connection. In other words, apart from the usual global definition (i.e. relating to the entire part), accessory lists take on a potentially local nature (e.g. relating only to a specific connection). In addition, eClass Advanced offers detailed management of different variants of the accessory lists (variants cannot yet be mapped as of July 2019). It is therefore important that the data management of the accessory lists is broken down in many respects.

Phoenix Connector 1414363 with 4 Crimp Connections. In each Crimp connection, principally a whole string of different pins with specific article number can be plugged. These are not necessarily identical for each connection. This explains why the classification needs to have maximum flexibility.
