本标准为陆军、海军和空军部门在电气和电子设备中使用的所有绝缘连接和引线建立了识别编码系统。这些编码系统还应用于识别霍尔发电机上的导线，以及规定的交流和直流导线编码方法（见4.9和4.10）。

This standard establishes identification coding systems for all insulated hookup and lead wire used in electrical and electronic equipment by the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. These coding systems should also be used for identifying lead wires on Hall generators and ac and dc wire coding methods specified (see 4.9 and 4.10).
