INTRODUCTION TO WIRE HARNESS
CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS IN CATIA V5
1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA
Connector connection point:
Create midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bunddle insertion.
- THE CONNECTOR IS FIRST UPLOADED IN THE PART DESIGN WORKBENCH
- WE DEFINE THE POINTS FOR CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION.
- THE AXIS SYSTEMS ARE PLACED ON THE CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND CAVITY CONNECTION POINTS
- THE ORIENTATION OF THE AXIS SYSTEM IS NOT SPECIFIC, WE JUST NEED TO FOLLOW A SIMILAR ORIENTATION FOR ALL THE PARTS.
- HERE THE Y-AXIS IS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONNECTION, Z-AXIS ALONG WITH THE CLIP MOUNTING AND X-AXIS ALONG BOTTOM TO TOP.
Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction as shown below,
Bundle connection point:
2.Tyco 174357-2 :
- Create midpoint
- create Connector connection point
- create Connector connection axis system
- create cavity connection point
- create cavity connection axis system
- Switch to Electric part design and define part as connector
- Define Connector connection point and cavity connection point
3. Tyco 85229-1 :
- Create midpoint
- create cavity connection point
- 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
Electric Assembly Design
- Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
- Select Defing Eelectric connection
- select cavity and then connector.
