Modeling Strategies and Construction

This family consists of three classes of terminal strips. These three classes are specified in different sections, or sheets, within the MIL SPEC. Each strip is specified by 14 parameters. Unlike the other families, however, only three of these parameters vary among members of the same class. Therefore, the part table contains only four parameters. (See Figure 4.19.) These parameters are the number of terminals (matched pairs of screws), the center-to-center distance between the two sets of mounting holes (A), the length of the terminal strip (B), and the part class (37, 38 or 39.) [55164/1] [55164/2] [55164/3] The other 11 dimensional parameters are set using if...then...else constraint equations in the model, based on the part class.
