ContactPoint
Note: There is a newer version of this specification see VEC 2.1.0
A contact point defines the relationship between Terminals, Seals, Plugs, Cavities and Wires. A ContactPoint is expected to have only one electrical potential.
If a contacting of a terminal has more than one potential (e.g. a coax-contact) one contact point for each potential is needed.

| WireMounting | wireMounting | 0..* | 1 | Specifies the WireMouting defined by ContactPoint. More than one WireMounting is allowed in order to support variance. In concrete configuration the WireMounting with all referenced elements present is used. |
| CavityMounting | cavityMounting | 0..* | 1 | Defines the mounting to a cavity of the terminal associated with the ContactPoint. The cardinality is 0..* in order to allow a variant dependant cavity mounting. In such a scenario a cavity mounting is valid in a configuration if all addressed cavities and therefore the associated connector housing is available. |
| TerminalRole | mountedTerminal | 0..1 | 0..* | References the terminal that is used for contacting defined by the ContactPoint. |
