Wire Ident Colour Coding

Wire Ident Colours....

Is there a standard to go by for these?

I believe someone told me once each colour relates to a number.

When it comes to having multiple idents on a wire, i would always start the sequence from pin end out.

I would also usually start with a colour relating to its source:

Red = 12v

BLK = GND

ORG = 5v

so on and so forth.

I'd be interested to hear what other people do for wire ident procedures/standards.

Thanks

hi josh

I suggest you download MIL-STD-681F and then you can build your own system.
