How it works
Manufacturer documents are the source. When they do not say something, Pinloom says so instead of guessing.
Where the data comes from
Every part and relationship is read from the manufacturer's own catalogs, drawings, product pages and qualified product lists. Each one keeps a link to its document, and where the document has numbered pages, the page it is printed on.
How each relationship is labelled
A part page shows, next to every mate, contact and tool, how that link is known:
- Verified (2 sources)
- Stated by the manufacturer and confirmed by a second, independent source.
- Stated by manufacturer
- Printed by the manufacturer in a table row, a statement or a product page, not yet confirmed by a second source.
- Same series & size · check datasheet
- Same series and size in the manufacturer's catalog. The catalog has no table pairing these exact part numbers, so check the datasheet.
How the harness pinout is worked out
- You choose the connectors and tick the signals each one carries.
- Pinloom assigns pins by rule: signals in a pair sit on adjacent pins where the connector's pin layout is known, and pins that are already assigned stay where they are.
- Wire gauges come from the range the connector's crimp contacts accept.
- Checks flag what needs your attention, such as a gauge outside the contact's range or a pair that could not be kept together.
- You can still move any pin, wire or bend by hand, as in a harness CAD tool.
When something is wrong
Use “Report a problem” on any part page. Reports are read and corrected against the manufacturer's document. Always confirm against the manufacturer's current documentation before ordering or production.
