20 The connectors on the car are standardized, this eases development by removing the need for finding new products matching requirements every year. It reduces the amount of different products and tools kept in stock. The selected connectors have already been proven to work by previous members. If future members want to use different connectors than the once listed below careful consideration should be given to what benefits swapping connectors would provide and why it is necessary.

22 === Note about "legacy" connector series ===
23
24 Some of the connectors on the car are "legacy" connectors. A "legacy" connector, is a connector outside of the connector series listed below. It is in use on the car due to it being part of a old system, the work needed to replace them would be too great or too costly to perform. A good example of this is the AMPSEAL connector for the [[ACCU MB>>https://wiki.alignracing.no/bin/view/Electrical/ACCU%20MB/]] from AR26. In order to replace this connector a redesign and reproduction of both the motherboard and TSAC would be necessary. So long as systems like this are used on the car the old connectors will remain in use, but it is encouraged to replace this connector with one outlined below in future designs of these systems.

30 In this section, "Inside enclosure" connectors refers to headers on a PCBs that are connected to wires running inside a waterproof, sealed during operation enclosure.

40 In this section, "Inn/out of enclosure" connector refers to connectors/headers on a PCB that goes through an enclosure wall, bypassing the need for running cables inside the enclosure to a dedicated connector in the enclosure wall. This section is for PCB mounted series, for PCB independent series see below.

48 === Inn/out of enclosures ===
49
50 In this section, "Inn/out of enclose" connector refers to connectors that are not mounted directly on a PCB but in the wall of an enclosure, bridging the inside and outside of the enclosure. Wires from "Inside enclosure" connectors can be terminated in these to connect them to the outside world.
