ISO/TS 10303-1635:2006 specifies the application module for Assembly functional interface requirement.

ISO/TS 10303-1635:2006 deals with the representation of the information needed to describe the manner by which an electronic assembly shall electrically or functionally interface to the next higher assembly.

Constraints on the signals associated with terminals of the mating connector may be specified.

Identification of the mating terminals is supported. ISO/TS 10303-1635:2006 defines the information needed to describe the physical layer of an engineering operational protocol and the mapping of the signals in the protocol definition to a terminal in the usage view of the product. Support for functional characterization of the host connector, media connector or media is provided.

The following are within the scope of ISO/TS 10303-1635:2006:

• signal names for assembly terminals;
• physical layer protocol definition;
• external functional characterization of a connector or media referenced in a protocol definition.
