- To define all the necessary properties to Connectors & Clip.
- CONNECTOR DEFINITIONS 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 bundle connection point
- create bundle connection axis system
- create cavity connection axis system
- create cavity connection point
- 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
Electric Assembly Design:
- Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
- Select Defing Eelectric connection
- select cavity and then connector.
CATALOGUE:
A Cataloge is a CATIA V5 document that keeps a list of references to another catia parts and features. In a wiring harness it means that we can store a set of electrically defined cat parts in a document and insert it into a product assembly when ever required.
A cataloge is created and below parts are added.
