Connectors

One Consumer Electronics Product I tried to dismantle had many small
Printed Circuit Board Modules and there had been set wiring connected
by different types of connectors. (at least 10 types of connectors are
found including FFC Connectors:-some are ZIF)
There, I came to understand that for the electronics sets with
complicated wiring between many modules, there should use connectors
of different types in the designs to prevent the service personnel (or
anyone who disassemble it) from reconnecting it wrongly while re-
assembling it.
Is there any article in a published book or any website have you seen
described something concerning with using connectors while considering
wiring between PCBoards in Designs (Guide lines, article or anything)?
Or is there any comment from anybody?

 

The only real "guideline" I've ever used is: "Use what works".

Cheers!
