AbstractSlot

Published on Sep 19, 2025 VEC Version 2.2.0 2 min read

An AbstractSlot represents a geometrical location in a connector housing that can contain or group one or more cavities. This grouping can happen in two different ways:

Directly, via a Slot, where the slot is an inseparable part of the connector housing, formed during the manufacturing process.
Indirectly, via a ModularSlot, which serves as a placeholder where other connector housings (modules) can be inserted during assembly.

The AbstractSlot is primarily relevant on the mating side of the connector. It enables a logical and geometrical grouping of cavities that may affect how mating is performed.
