WIRING HARNESS:

DEFINING ELECTRIC PARAMETER FLOW CHART:

CONNECTOR DEFINITION USING CATIA V5:

1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

The 3D model is downloaded from the given link.

Connector connection point:

Create a regular midpoint on the contact face for the insertion of the wire bundling.

Create an axis system respect to the midpoint which we have created on the surface.

Here, Z axis should be pointed across the connector from left to right, Y axis should be pointed towards the front face of the connector and X axis should be pointed in the direction towards the locking mechanism of the clip.

Create a midpoint on the opposite side of the connector for define bundle connection point

Define the part as a connector by using Electrical part design work bench.

Define bundle connection point.

Define connector conection point.

2. Tyco 174357-2

The 3D model is downloaded from the given link.

Create midpoint for define bundle entry point.

Create midpoint for define connector connection point.

Create cavity point at the cavity position of the connector.

Create connector axis system respect to the midpoint which we have created on the surface.

Create cavity axis with respect to cavity point.

Define the part as a connector by using Electrical part design work bench.

Define bundle connection point.

Define connector connection point.

Define cavity connection point.

3. Tyco 85229-1

from the given link.

Create cavity point at the cavity position of the connector.

Create cavity axis at the cavity point.

Define the part as a connector by using Electrical part design work bench and Define cavity
