Project 2

WIRING HARNESS FOR TAILGATE:

Aim: The main objective of the given project is to route the wiring for the tailgate tail lamps & registration plate.

Description:

• In this project we have followed all the best practices to complete the wiring harness.
• I have created the Flattened Model for the tail lamps & registration plate geometrical wiring harness
• I have created the drawing for the tail lamps & Registration Plate.
• I have used the furr tree clips for routing the wires without getting strangled as a suppot component
• The connectors are positioned using the compass, manipulation tool, smart move & snap options.
• The COT tubes having dia 10 are used as a protection device for the given wiring harness.

Given : Tailgate Image

• We have to consider two different bundle for tail lamps & registration plate lights because lights of registration plates & brakes have different working principles.
• consider two inter connectors, two for lamps & two for registration plate lights.
• Minimum distance between two branch points is more than 50 mm.
• Branch legth to be more than 50 mm
• Bend radiud ratio is to be 1.4 to 1.5
• Avoiding Scrapping with sharp corners & edges.
• Provide rquired slack wherever required.

Steps to follow to create Harness Bundle:

1. Create the context assembly consist of tailgate, geometrical bundle for the tail lamps & geometrical bundle for the registration plate lights.
2. Define the all the connector & clamps elctrically.
3. Define the bundle entry point, connector connection point for connectors.
4. define the furr tree clip with the support command from both sides for smooth connections in the geometrical harness assembly using the electrical harness assembly workbench.
5. Create branchables having suitable diameter, bent radius & slack wherever required.
6. Apply the COT tubes as a protection.
7. After the the connectors connections check the geometrical bundles for the connectivity.
8. If the all bundles are connected successfully proceed with the bundle flattening.
9. Create the flattening of the bundles using the Electrical Harness Flattening Workbench.
10. Create the Drawing sheet, scale the bundle 1:2, take the front view as required from bundles & create the drawing using the drafting workbench.

Conclusion:

• I have successfully route the wiring harness for both tail lamps & reg plate lamps.
• I have successfully flattened & created drawing for the given wiring harness taillamp project.
