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.

Create a point on the mating surface.

Create an axis on the point.

Create a point at the back as the bundle entry point.

Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction.

Creating Axis system:

• Z axis should be pointing across the connector from left to right.
• Y axis should be pointing towards the front face of the connector.

X axis should be pointing in the direction towards the locking mechanism of the clip.

Bundle connection point:

Now define the part as a connector with 8 terminations.

Define CONNECTER Connection Point.

Define Bundle Connection Point.

2)Second Connector:

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.

CREATE A CONNECTOR POINT

CREATE A CAVITY POINT

CREATE A BUNDLE 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.
