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

AIM

Download following connectors & Connector clip cad data from given link & define it as Electrical Connector using Electrical Part design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties to Connectors & Clip.

INTRODUCTION TO WIRING HARNESS

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.

• Craete Axis System with respect to the point which we have created and defining the axis direction as shown below,

BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT

Switch to 'Electric Part Design'

• Define the part as 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.

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.

Elctric Assembly Design

• Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
• Select Defing Eelectric connection.
• select cavity and then connector.

Conclusion

Defined all neccessary properties in all connectors and clips.
