CONNECTOR DEFINITIONS IN CATIA V5

1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

• Connector connection point:

• It is the point at which two mating surfaces of the plug and connector are connected.
• To create such a connector connection point, follow the below steps:
• Switch to part design,
• Create a midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
• Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and define the axis direction as shown below,
• Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
• Define the part as the connector in CATIA V5, and give the no. of termination as 3 because we have 3 entry points for wire.
• Define connector connection point.

• Bundle connection point:

• The bundle connection point is used to specify the position and the direction of the bundle segment connected to the connector or the equipment.
• To create such a connector connection point, follow the below steps:
• Switch to part design,
• Create a midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
• Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and define the axis direction as shown below
• Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
• Since we had already defined the component as connector.
• so, Define Bundle connection point

2. Tyco 174357-2:

• Create midpoint
• create a Connector connection point
• create a Connector connection axis system
• make a cavity connection point
• make a cavity connection axis system
• Switch to an Electric part design and define the part as a mounting equipment
• Define the cavity connection point

Electric Assembly Design

• Import Connectors and cavity/mounting clip.
• Select Defining Electric connection
• select cavity and then connector.
