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

AIM

Define given connectors & connector clip as an Electrical Connector and add their necessary properties using Electrical Part design workbench in CATIA V5

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this project is to first, download the given files from TE.com then define them as an electrical connector or equipment and lastly give all the required electrical properties to them using the electrical part design workbench on CATIA V5.

These are the steps required to do this project-

1. Create the required geometrical parameters for connector
2. Create a bundle entry point
3. If connector accommodates clip then define a geometrical parameter for the clip
4. Define part as a connector or mounting equipment
5. Create bundle connection point
6. Create a connector connection point
7. Create a cavity connection point if there is a clip

CONTENT

There are two connectors, one with clip attachment feature (TYC0 174357-2) and the other one is without it (Deutsch-DT06-08SA). The third part is the clip (TYCO 85229-1)

CONNECTOR 1- Without Clip attachment- C-DT06-08SA

CONNECTOR 2- With Clip attachment- C-2-174357-2-E-3D –

CLIP 2- C-0085229-01-A-3D-

CLIP AND CONNECTOR ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY-

CONCLUSION

Both the connectors and the clip were defined as an electrical connector and electrical mounting equipment respectively. All the necessary electrical and geometrical properties were given to the parts.
