Usage and Attribution

This guide is intended to be freely shareable as an educational field reference. A few ground rules keep it clean for open-source publication:

• Do not reproduce paid standards tables (e.g. the body of MIL-DTL or IEC documents) in derivative versions of this guide. Reference them and point readers to the source.
• Do not copy proprietary catalog tables verbatim. Use public manufacturer datasheets and standards references for verification, and summarize in your own words.
• Manufacturer names, standards, trademarks, and connector family names (Amphenol, Glenair, Souriau, ITT Cannon, TE, Molex, JST, Harting, Phoenix Contact, WAGO, Weidmüller, Anderson, Harwin, Omnetics, and others) remain the property of their respective owners and are used here only for identification and education.

See Source Notes for the list of claims that need source verification before public release.
