Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 2 Challenge
CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS 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 electrical part design
- Define the part as connector in catia give no of terminations 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 cavity connection point
- create cavity connection axis system
- 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


Elctric Assembly Design:
- Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
- Select Defing Eelectric connection
- select cavity and then connector.
