The embedded length property is key for splices, because it indicates the different splice types. There are two types of splices:
A physical object where the wires are inserted into the body of the splice to form the electrical connection. Wires do not overlap, thus the embedded length is zero or a negative number.
Wires are either soldered or ultrasonically welded together. The embedded length value is the amount that the wires overlap.
For both splice types, the splice pins are located in the center of the splice. All wire lengths are calculated to the splice pins. The embedded length of the splice is added to the wire length to determine its adjusted length value. This process ensures that the proper wire length is added to each wire connecting to the splice.
To change the embedded length for a splice, create a splice in the Cable and Harness library, and then enter the needed embedded length value. You cannot change the embedded length on the Default Library Splice.
