Two needs for Tango!

Some Info about Connectors Properties.

1. Connector can't work by itself - it need another connector to mate.
Let say and work with CONNECTION, but not with single Connector.
Let Choice Both Sides of Connection at the SAME TIME!

2. Connector Parameters defined by Connection Application.

Connection Application	-->	Connector Parameters
To Define	-->	Result (for Both Connectors)
	\->	Conn. Type / Family
	\->	Contacts Centerline Spacing Dimension / Pitch
	\->	Number of Positions/ Contacts/ Pins/ Ways
	\->	Gender/ Sex
	\->	Mating Direction - Angle between mating contact and solder tail

3. Connector Parameters defined by designed System Requirements.

To Define	-->	Result (for Both Connectors)

Level and Complexity of System	-->	Conn. Type / Family
Liability / Responcibility of System	-->	Conn. Type / Family
Liability / Responcibility of Specific Connection (Connectors Pair)	-->	Conn. Type / Family
Environmental Requirements	-->	Contact Plating
Life Tyme of System	-->	Contact Plating
Number of Mating Cycles	-->	Conn. Type / Family
	\->	Contact Plating
Production Quantity	-->	Conn. Mounting Technology
