agree Ken Cox: Personally, I'd say 'assignments' (usually used with a table or the like that lists the signals present on (assigned to) the individual pins/contacts)

agree jccantrell: I would agree with either, depending on your specific context. I hae seen the singular as a title of a section or as a caption for the figure Ken cites.
