The below snap is for the wiring harness assembly structure-connector definition
CONNECTOR DEFINITIONS IN CATIA V5
1. Deutsch DT06 – 08SA
Connector connection point:
Create a midpoint on the contact face which will be normal to wire bundle insertion.
Create Axis System with respect to the point which we have created
Bundle connection point:
Switch to 'Electric Part Design'
Define the part as a connector in CATIA, give the no. of termination 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 a cavity connection axis system and orientation should be the same as in the connector
- Switch to an Electric part design and define the part as Mounting Equipment
- Define cavity connection point
Electrical Assembly Design
- Import Connector and cavity/mounting clip.
- Select Defing Electric connection
- select cavity and then connector.
