If you right-click on the VI's icon in the top right corner and select
patterns you can select a connector pattern that has more terminals.
The maximum is 28.
If you ever need more than 28 the solution is to use clusters and
arrays.
but there are not 17 terminal in the patterns
You can also adapt it exactly to the number of terminals you need; if
you have 16 and just want one extra just right-click on the pattern
(where you assign terminals) and choose to add a terminal.
You do not need to use them all, just select a pattern that has more
than 17 and wire up the ones you need.
