Project 1

• To route the wiring harness for the given engine.
• Application of all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course shall be demonstrated in design.
• Apply Protection coverings as required.

Cable harnesses are usually designed according to geometric and electrical requirements. A diagram is then provided (either on paper or on a monitor) for the assembly preparation and assembly.

Packaging Rules:

• Avoid harness routing near sharp edges, if not possible provide protection to the harness.
• The maximum distance between two clips on a straight branch is 200mm.
• Provide Clips and clamps if the harness is going to bend at multiple locations.
• The use of too many sheet-metal brackets should be avoided.
• The branch length should be more than 50 mm.
• Min distance between the clip and the branching point is to be 25 mm.
• Min distance between two branch breakouts should be 50 mm.

1. Provide clips/clamps as per requirement.
2. Make sure that there is no falling case while designing the wire harness. Additional clips/clamps may be used to avoid falling cases.
3. Give additional slack if needed. 5-10% slack is sufficient.
4. Avoid routing over the bolt and bolted joints to avoid harness puncture.

In these we have used different types of connectors like

C-1563689 a 12 pole connector

Different types of guiding channels

and fir tree clips and P clamp are used to fix the bundles.

and a L section joint is used to mount the connector on to it.
