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

Definiation of electrical

Electrical refers to anything related to electricity. It can be defined as of relating to, producing, or operated by electricity. Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge .

Electrical refers to something that is related to, produces, operates by, or contains electricity. It can also refer to sound that is created or altered by an electrical or electronic device. Electrical can also imply excitement, shock, or strong emotion¹.

Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the most widely used forms of energy. The electricity that we use is a secondary energy source because it is produced by converting primary sources of energy such as coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, solar energy, and wind energy into electrical power

ProMechanical connectors are electro-mechanical devices used to connect or disconnect a circuit path. They come in different shapes, sizes, qualities, and complexities¹. Blackburn® Mechanical connectors are one such example of mechanical connectors that are available in the market. They offer a wide range of mechanical connectors such as split-bolt connectors, parallel groove connectors, insulation piercing connectors, two-bolt connectors, AMT connectors, dual-rated mechanical connectors, copper mechanical connectors and clamp connectors²

A mechanical connector is an electro-mechanical device used to create a mechanical connection between parts of a mechanical system, or between different mechanical systems, thereby joining them into a larger system

Define of routing bundle,

Proper routing of a bundle is important for good EMC design principles. The cable/bundle should ideally be strapped to the wire/braid. Conductors should be split into five categories according to the signals and power they carry: sensitive analogue (1a), sensitive digital (1b), ordinary analogue/digital (2), not very interfering (3) and very interfering (4)¹. Ties are neat, tight and properly spaced (relative to harness diameter) to maintain the wiring in a tight, neat bundle

Routing of a bundle is important for maintaining the wiring in a tight, neat bundle. The cable/bundle should ideally be strapped to the wire/braid.

Bundle routing is the process of routing two or more tracks at the same time. This saves time and uses less space on the board. When routing an area of the board with an odd angle (other than 45 degrees) or shape, you can lose a lot of valuable routing space on the board¹. The rotate command is used to rotate the bundle in a proper direction.

• This point is located at center of the bundle segment side or wire entry side.
• This is the point where bundle segment or wire point end when get routed to a connector.
• This point is known as Bundle Connection Point.
• At the time of defining bundle connection point, the number of terminals and a face is also provided as an input data.
• So, this point is called as Connector Connection Point.
• In Connector connection axis system, we have to always ensure that y-axis should be alwyas in the direction of mating axis of all the connectors.
• And x-axis should be in the diretion of locking mechanism and z-axis should be left-right side of the connector according to the orientation.
