Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge

INTRODUCTION TO WIRING HARNESS

CONNECTOR DEFINITION IN CATIA V5

1.Tyco 174359-2:

Connector Connection Point

• This point is used for the connection of one connector to another connector.
• Create a midpoint on the mating face.
• And create the axis on the origin point.
• Define the connector logical termination.
• Define the connector connection point and select the x,y,z representaion of directions.
• X-Axis consider the locking position of the connector.
• Y-axis consider as the coinsident of the connector.
• Z-axis consider as the left ,right movement of the connector.

Bundle Connection Point

• This point is created for the wire entry position of the connector.
• Create midpoint of the entry face.
• Define the Bundle connection to select the normal face of the 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.

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.

ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY DESIGN:

• To Import the connector,cavity,clip product.
• To connect the assemble of mounting clip and connector.
• And then connect to assemble the male housing connector on the main connector.
