INTRODUCTION TO WIRING HARNESS

CONNECTOR DEFINATIONS IN CATIA V5

1. Deutsch DT06 - 08SA

• Connector Connection Point

• Create 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 and defining the axis direction as shown above.

• Bundle Connection Point

• Switch to 'Electric Part Design'.
• Define the Part as connector in CATIA V5, give no. of termination as 8 because we have 8 entry point 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 Connectoin 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.

ELECTRIC ASSEMBLY DESIGN

• Import Connector and Cavity/mounting clip.
• Select defining Electric Connection.
• Select Cavity and then Connector.
