| KBLFRM-1026 | Added guideline for the distinction of parallel and end splices. | 2021-05-19 |
For historical reasons, the representation of splices in the KBL is quite implicit. A splice is represented as a regular Connector_housing respectively a Connector_occurrence. It can be identified with the Connector_occurrence.Usage and/or Connector_housing.Housing_type (see KBLFRM-1025 ). Due to these generic approach the splice is currently missing some splice specific information on the occurrence level in the KBL model:
- Type: Defines if the splice is a parallel splice or an end splice. An end splice is a splice where all wires are inserted from the same side of the splice, a parallel splice has wires from both sides.
- Seal State: Defines if the splice should be sealed or not.
To overcome this limitation the following Installation_instructions shall be used on the Connector_occurrence
| Instruction_type | Definition | Instruction_value (one of) |
|---|---|---|
| splice_type | Defines whether there are requirements for the implementation of the splice, and if so, what they are. | [end_splice, inline_splice, unspec_splice] |
| seal_state | Defines requirements for the implementation of the sealing of the splice | [sealed, unsealed] |
