INTRODUCTION TO WIRE HARNESS

DEFINIG ELECTRIC PARAMETER FLOW CHART

• THE CONNECTOR IS FIRST UPLOADED IN THE PART DESIGN WORKBENCH
• WE DEFINE THE POINTS FOR CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND BUNDLE CONNECTION.
• THE AXIS SYSTEMS ARE PLACED ON THE CONNECTOR CONNECTION AND CAVITY 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.

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 CLIP ON TO THE CONNECTOR.

• THE CLIP HAS TO BE DEFINED AS A CAVITY IN THE ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN WORKBENCH.

Elctric Assembly Design

• Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.
• Select Defing Eelectric connection

select cavity and then connector.
