Naming connectors in a family makes it easier to understand which one you
are connecting to when working in a project. You can name a connector in
the Connector Description parameter in the connector's properties. When
you use the Connect Into tool in a project on a family with multiple
connectors, the connectors will appear in a list with their names so you can
choose the correct one.
