CONNECTORS DEFINATION IN CATIA V5 :-

• THE CONNECTOR IS FIRST UPLOADED IN THE PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.
• THEN I DEFINE THE POINTS FOR CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION .
• THE AXIS SYSTEMS ARE PLACED ON THE CONNECTOR CONNECTION POINTS.
• THE ORIENTATION OF THE AXIS SYSTEM IS NOT SPECIFIC, WE JUST NEED TO FOLLOW A SIMILAR ORIENTATION FOR ALL THE PARTS.
• HERE THE Y-AXIS IS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE CONNECTION, Z-AXIS ALONG WITH THE CLIP MOUNTING AND X-AXIS ALONG BOTTOM TO TOP.
• NOW WE DEFINE THIS PART AS AN ELECTRICAL ELEMENT/CONNECTOR, WITH THE NUMBER OF TERMINALS.
• CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION IS DEFINED IN THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.

CONNECTOR - 1

CONNECTOR 2 :-

THE SAME PROCESS WAS FOLLOWED FOR THE SECOND CONNECTOR. HERE WE NEED TO INCLUDE THE CONNECTOR-CAVITY CONNECTION POINT. THIS IS DONE TO FIX THE MOUNTING CLIP ON TO THE CONNECTOR.

NOTE - THE SAME AXIS SYSTEM ORIENTATION MUST BE PROVIDED ON THE MATING PART TO MATCH IT PROPERLY.

3. CONNECTING_CLIP :

I DEFINED IT AS AN MOUNTING EQUIPMENT AND MENTION THE POINT AND THEN AXIS ORIENTATION AS MENTIONED IN THE CONNECTOR 2.

AND FINALLY WE ASSEMBLED THE CONNECTOR AND MOUNTING_CLIP BY COMMAND CONNECTING ELECTRICAL DEVICES IN ELECTRICAL ASSEMBLY WORKBENCH.
