At frequencies over 5 GHz, a backplane connector can be one wavelength in size. Under those conditions, connectors become radiators (Figure 1 ). Remember that EMI engineers want to keep things like ...

Figure 6 If you let a connector symbol stay one part it makes the schematic very confusing (a). By using the heterogeneous part function in OrCAD, or the part “modes” in Altium/CircuitStudio, you can ...

I don't like the overly graphic connector symbols, IMO the schematic should show logical connections, I don't need a picture of the connector in the schematic. Aesthetics are highly subjective, so ...

The Schematic Connectors tab has 3 groups of settings relating to the schematic symbol’s connectors. Schematic diagram connectors: Defines number of connectors for each side of the symbol is set.
