pinout
Connector function map
A pinout is a diagram or reference showing the function of each pin on an electronic connector, integrated circuit, or component.
Engineers and hobbyists consult pinouts to wire connections correctly: I looked up the pinout for the USB connector.
Without the correct pinout, you risk damaging components or getting no signal at all.
