Wiring harness design in CATIA V5 - 3D modeling Week 5 & 6 Challenge

CONNECTORS:

Wire harnesses are connected to power sources or circuits using connectors, which are electromechanical devices that create a continuous electronic signal. Male-ended plugs and female-ended jacks are the fundamental components of connectors and can be joined together to transmit an electronic signal. They are the well-known polarised multi-pin connector mating pair with wire leads. A snap-mounted female-ended chassis mounting can accommodate a male-ended plastic housing with release. Depending on the application, the pair is available in a wide range of sizes, shapes, materials, qualities, and dimensions, including circular, header, pin, crimped, and multitap.
