Comments on: JACK/PLUG – Jack, Plug, Male, Female Connectors http://www.cosjwt.com/blog/?p=113 Just trying to highlight what's right and wrong in the world of EE and other things.

Simpleman, thank you very much for the tip about ASME Y14.44-2008. I just received a copy and it carries forward the ideas expressed in IEEE 200-1975 very well and does so in an actively maintained document. Hurrah. The "Golden Rules" in the post above are re-codified in ASME Y14.44-2008 in Section 2.1.5.3. This new document also makes reference to the still active IEEE 315-1975 for direction on which reference letter to use where for all your components in your assemblies. Thank you ASME. As an EE I am in your debt and will likely join your organization since IEEE let us down. !!!UPDATE!!!

Due to the need for this Standard in the industry, it was agreed that it should be reestablished by ASME and a new subcommittee (Subcommittee Y14.44) was formed to carry out the development of a new standard under the ASME Y14 series of engineering drawing and related documentation practices." It goes on to outline the significant changes. The foreword of ASME Y14.44-2008 states in part:

I've got a question for you. Is ASME Y14.44-2008 an equivalent standard? The title is the same. Thanks for this post. I’ve got a question for you. Is ASME Y14.44-2008 an equivalent standard?
