Introduction about wiring harness:

Connector definitions in CATIA V5

Deutsch DT06 – 08SA

Connector connection point:

Creating a midpoint on the contact face will be normal to the wiring bundle insertion.

Create Axis System with respect to the point and define the axis direction as shown below.

Bundle connection point:

Switch to Electric Part Design

Defining the part like a connector in CATIA, give no of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry points for wire.

Define Bundle connection point

Define connector connection point:
