STEP-1 (DOWNLODE THE PART FROM TE.COM WEBSITE)

MECHANICAL PARTS WITHOUT ELECTRICAL FILES

STEP-2 (CREATING REQUIED GEOMETRICAL PARAMETRS)

1. CREATE THE POINT AT THE MATEING FACE OF CONNECTOR

2. CREATE AXIS SYSTEM USING THE PONT

X - TOWARDS THE LOCKING SIDE OF CONNECTOR

Y - NOMAL TO FACE TO CONNECTOR

Z - PERPENDECULAR TO THE X

3. CREATE A POINT USING THE BETWEEN OPTION AT THE BUNDLE POINT AND CONNECTOR POINT

BUNDDLE POINT

CONNECTOR POINT

STEP-3(CONVERTING PART AS CONNECTOR)
