Only an approved model drawing should be used for equipment release. Family pages help narrow the choice, but dimensions and ratings can change with shell size, insert, contact count and cable construction.
Source hierarchy
| Exploration | Application and family pages explain options and selection tradeoffs. |
|---|---|
| Verification | Catalog excerpts and model datasheets provide published dimensions and ratings. |
| Release | The approved drawing, pinout and purchase specification define the supplied item. |
Move from a family page to the original catalog evidence, then request the exact model drawing. Record project-specific cable, wiring, marking, inspection and packaging requirements in the controlled release.
