wiring diagram
Electrical connection map
A wiring diagram is a schematic showing electrical connections in a system—how components are linked by wires.
Electricians and technicians use wiring diagrams to install, troubleshoot, and repair circuits: The wiring diagram showed which terminal connected to the thermostat.
Figuratively, it can describe any map of complex connections: She needed a wiring diagram of the company's politics.
