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

1)Deutsch DT06-08SA

  • TE Internal #: DT06-08SA
  • TE Internal Description: PLG, 8P, GRY, N, A
  • Connector & Housing Type : Housing for Female Terminals

  • Mating Pin Diameter : 1.59 mm [ .063 in ]

  • Connector System : Wire-to-Wire

  • Number of Positions : 8

  • Centerline (Pitch) : 9.12 mm [ .359 in ]

I have dowloaded cad drawing of this connector from TE website.It was downloaded  as step file.

It was opened in part work bench.

Point for Bundle connection point & Connector connection point defined at respective places.

Axis coordinates also defined with corresponding axis direction.

'Y' axis prefarable for connector fixing direction.'Z' axis for side face of connector.'X' axis for clip mounting direction.This is some standard that we can use.

 Then changed the work bench into electrical part design.

Using define connector command,it will get electrical property.We have mentioned it as 4pole connector.

Then connector connection point defined.This is connecting cthis component with mating component.That may be male connector.

Then Bundle connection point defined.This is for cable entry.

Final model has been added in product catalogue.

Catalogue document has been already created & saved at desired location based on tutorial video.

2)Tyco 174357-2

 
  • Connector & Housing Type : Housing for Female Terminals

  • Mating Tab Width : 1.8 mm [ .071 in ]

  • Connector System : Wire-to-Wire

  • Number of Positions : 3

  • Centerline (Pitch) : 4.8 mm [ .189 in ]

 

This model was opened in part work bench.

Point for Bundle connection point & Connector connection point defined at respective places.

Axis coordinates also defined with corresponding axis direction.

Then electrical part design workbench has been openend.

Electrical properties assigned by Define connector command.We have mentioned it as 3 pole connector.

Then connector connection point defined.

Then Bundle connection point defined.

Cavity connection point also defined.This is the point that to fix with mounting element.

Final model has been added in product catalogue.

 3)Tyco 85229-1

  • TE Internal #: 85229-1
  • TE Internal Description: CLIP HSG FOR 070 (EJ MK-II)
  • Automotive Connector Accessory Type : Mounting Clip
  • Primary Product Material : PA
  • Primary Product Color : Black
  • Operating Temperature Range : -40 – 120 °C [ -40 – 248 °F ]

We have defined it as mounting equipment.

Point created at mounting point.Coordinate axis system also created in that point.

Using Define cavity command,we have assigned mounting point.

Cavity connection point also defined.

Final model has been added in product catalogue.

Then Electrical Assembly design work bench hasbeen created.

Connector & Clip component added in assembly file.

Since we have assigned all necessary properties for both the components,directly it will mate together by using connect electrical devices command.

If we want to diconnect it,use disconnect electrical devices command.
