Device with multiple connectors in a project
A junction box is another example of a device family that may require
multiple connectors. In this case, the connectors are the same type. Their
properties can be associated with the same family parameters or unique
ones. Having multiple connectors of the same type within a device family

having two connectors in a junction box device family allows the device to
be connected to multiple circuits in a project.

Junction box with multiple connectors
When using multiple connectors in a device family, it is a good idea to use
the Connector Description parameter to identify the connectors. This will
help with creating systems when working in a project. When a device has
multiple connectors and you are creating a system for the device, a dialog
box lists the available connectors.

assign a switch family to multiple systems even when the family contains
multiple connectors.
