Terminal Designations (Excerpts from DIN Standard 72 552) The terminal
designations do not identify the wires, because devices with different
terminal designations can be connected at the two ends of each wire. If
the number of terminal designations is insufficient (multiple-contact
connections), the terminals are consecutively numbered using numbers or
letters whose representations of specific functions are not standardized.
