Help:Pages/Pinouts

This page describes the formalised structure of an pinout page and how to go about creating one.

Basic Page Setup

Page Location

Pinout pages should be stored either as a sub-page of a connector or piece of equipment, depending on if the connector is used on multiple pieces of equipment, (e.g. Phone connector/Mono audio or IC-7000/Accessory_socket).

Page Contents

A pinout page should have the following structure:

• A description of the pinout
• A {{pinout}} declaration wrapped in an <onlyinclude> section (this allows for the pinout to be included on other pages)
• A Category:Pinout reference

See the example below for a complete pinout page, namely (Phone connector/Mono audio)

A common use of the [[Phone connector]] is for mono audio signals.
