INTRODUCTION TO WIRE HARNESS:

A wire harness is the exterior covering, or sheath, that protects an inner conductor or bundle of conductors. These inner components may already have sheaths for insulation and protection, or they may rely on the wire harness to create an ideal operational environment.

CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS IN CATIA V5:

Tyco 174357-2 :

1 )Create midpoint.

2) create Connector connection point.

3 )create Connector connection axis system .

4) create cavity connection point.

5) create cavity connection axis system .

6) Switch to Electric part design and define part as connector.

7) Define Connector connection point and cavity connection point.

Tyco 85229-1 :

1) Create midpoint.

2) create cavity connection point.

3) create cavity connection axis system and orientation should be same as in connector .

4) Switch to Electric part design and define part as Mounting Equipment.

5) Define cavity connection point.

Deutsch DT06 – 08SA:

1 )Create midpoint.

2) create Connector connection point.

3 )create Connector connection axis system .

4) Switch to Electric part design and define part as connector.

5) Define Connector connection point and cavity connection point.

Electric 3D Assembly Design:

1) Import Connector and cavity / mounting clip.

2) Select Defing Eelectric connection

3) select cavity and then connector. the same repeat to connect required connector or cavity clips.
