Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge

Connector :-

1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

process:

• Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.

• Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction as shown below,

• In the Axis system X-axis rotated 90 degrees to make Y-Axis Coincidence for Assembly purposes.

• Bundle connection point:

• Connector definition and bundle, connector connection points were performed in electrical design workbench

2.Tyco cunnector - 174357-2 :-

This is a female terminal which has both connector definition as well as a mounting slot by a clip.So in this model there should be a connection definition, connection, bundle point connections.Cavity definition and cavity connection points also must be given.

process:

• create Connector connection axis system

• The cavity connection side is defined as a Cavity connection point.

• Define Bundle connection point

• create cavity connection axis system

• Define Connector connection point and cavity connection point

3. Mounting Clip - Tyco 85229-1 :

First, I loaded the model from the given link.

process:

• create cavity connection axis system and orientation should be same as in connector

• Switch to Electric part design and define part as Mounting Equipment

• Define cavity connection point

Elctric Assembly Design :-

• Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
• Select Defing Eelectric connection
• select cavity and then connector.

Then connect electrical devices connector 1 and mounting clip before that we need to do manipulation in Mechanical Design ->Assembly design.

Rotate the mounting clip along the x-direction to match the connector
