Slot
A Slot is a specific type of AbstractSlot that represents a group of cavities integrated directly into a connector housing. The design of a slot is described by a SlotSpecification.
Slots serve two primary purposes:
- Cavity grouping within a housing: Each slot contains or groups cavities with specific properties and geometric placement.
- Definition of mating-side structure: A slot represents a logical and physical mating region of a connector. This makes it a fundamental unit for modular mating. For example, a connector with three slots can be mated with another connector that has only one slot, occupying just one slot on the multi-slot connector. This supports asymmetric or partial mating scenarios.
