Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 4 Challenge

Aim:Route the following harness layout in Electrical workbench. Make assumption for harness bundle diameters. Use Following connectors as shown in layout diagram.

Add protective covering on all branches connected to DT06-2S & DT06-4S connectors. Keep end extremity at 30mm (from connectors end)

CAD data of the following Connectors:

• DT06-4S
• DT06-6S
• DT06-2S
• DT06-08SA

Connectors Layout Design:

Steps to be followed:

1. Download connector 3D data from www.te.com

• DT06-8S (QTY-1)
• DT06-6S (QTY-1)
• DT06-4S (QTY-2)
• DT06-2S (QTY-2)

STEP-1

Completely define the geometrical and electrical parameters of all connectors in the electrical part design workbench in CATIA V5.

DT06-8S (QTY-1)

DT06-6S (QTY-1)

DT06-4S (QTY-2)

DT06-2S (QTY-2)

Above picture shows all the connectors which are geometrically and electrically defined.

STEP-2

Then we create a product file in assembly design and name it as "geomrtrical bundle assembly" in which we add all the connectors which are electrically defined,after adding all the connectors we convert mechanical assembly design into electrical assembly by using "Geometrical Bundle" command.

STEP-3

Arranging the Connectors by following the Layout

STEP-4

Creating Bundle segments and branching points between the connectors.

STEP-5

Add protective coverings on the required segments for harness bundle.
