DESCRIPTION :
CONNECTORS :
Connectors are parts or devices used for electrically connecting or disconnecting circuits etc. They can connect and disconnect by hands or with simple tools without requiring special tools or processes such as soldering.
These connectors have male ends (often called pins or plugs) and female ends (often called sockets or receptacles) that mate to form a connection. Electrical connectors provide flexibility with your equipment compared to permanently hard wiring and are essential in providing reliable electrical contact and, ultimately, ease of use for your customers.
There are various types of connectors, the large majority are one-piece types that are used alone or two-piece types consisting of a plug and socket. One-piece types directly connect printed circuit boards and wires to connectors.
TYPES CONNECTORS :
Connector Basics
There are roughly four types of connection for connectors.
1. Board to Wire
2. Board to Board
3. Input / Output
4. Others - Jumper Plugs, IC Socket, etc.
STRUCTURE:
Basic Connector Structure
There are various kinds of connectors. Connectors have various structures and parts to be used, however, basically they consists of contacts and a housing.
Contact: Contact for making electrical connection with each other when connectors are connected
Housing: Main body part into which the contact is inatalled (Usually made of insulator)
Other parts will be added depending on the type and use of the connectors. The following is an example of D sub connector.
Shell: Outer case which houses the insulator and the contact
Eyelet: Fastener that fixes the housing and the shell

PRINCIPLE :
Princle of Electrical Connectors are designed to temporarily join Conductive paths to allow electrical current to power a device or Transmit signals.
PROCEDURE FOR CONNECTOR DEFINE A ELECTRICAL PART CATIA V5 :
- Create / Download Connector 3D
- Create Geometrical Parameters.
- Define Part as Connector.
- Define Bundle Connection piont.
- Define Connector Connection point.
- Define Cavity Connection point.
Deutsch DT06 – 08SA Connector :
1. Download the Connector from given link and ope file in catia part modeling.
2. Create Geometrical parameters :
1. Create a point on face Bundle entry area represent name as bundle connectionpoint.
2. Create a point on face Connector meating side represent Name Connector Connection point.
3. Create a Connector Connection axis referance of point which Connector connection point.
Note : In axis system The Y-Axis should be Meating direction and X-Axis Should be Locking position.
3. Define Part as Connector :
After Create geometrical parameters file change into the Electrical part design.
