Since in the ECAD environment accessory parts represent a much more complicated structure than pure lists of article numbers, the accessory parts are to be defined in two sections in the present case. On the one hand there is the usual PSOL accessory solution (PARTproject -> Tabbed page References [Links] -> Links to parts ) and on the other hand the mechanism that links the accessory data with the electrical classification. The background to this is the fact that, for example, a connector with crimp connections can have a whole range of different accessories for each connection. In other words, apart from the usual global definition (i.e. relating to the entire part), accessory lists are potentially local in nature (e.g. relating only to a specific connection). In addition, ECLASS Advanced offers detailed management of different variants of the accessory lists (variants cannot yet be mapped as of July 2019). It is therefore important that the data management of the accessory lists is broken down in many respects.

Phoenix Connector 1414363 with 4 Crimp Connections. In each Crimp connection, principally a whole string of different pins with specific article number can be plugged. These are not necessarily identical for each connection. This explains why the classification needs to have maximum flexibility.
