Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
Solution
Objectives
To define the following connections and connector clip CAD parts as an electrical connector using the Electrical Part Design Workbench, get the data from the provided link. Create Connectors and Clips with all the required properties defined.
- Deutsch DT06 – 08SA
Define Point and Axis for Connector Connection Point
Create a midpoint on the contact face that will be used for regular wire bundle insertion in the workbench for the component.
Create an axis system referencing the newly generated point and specifying the axis direction as shown below.

Switch to the ‘Electric Part Design’ workbench
In CATIA V5, define the component as a connector and enter an 8 for the number of terminations because there are 8 wire entry points.
