Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

AIM:

• To download the P clamp and define it as electrical support in the electrical part design workbench and also define the necessary electrical properties.
• To download the Backshell and define it as electrical Backshell in the electrical part design workbench and also define the necessary electrical properties.
• To create the following corrugated tubes and add them to the catalog under the "SlitCot" family.

P CLAMP:

P-clamps lock cables and hoses in place and help ensure that machinery, vehicles and equipment keep running. They bracket wires, cables or hoses together mechanically and are fastened securely to an anchor point – usually with a screw or a bolt.

DEFINE ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES FOR P CLAMP:

In Part Workbench,Create gemetrical parameters such as Points and Planes which used for entry and exit direction in the budles.

Define Given P Clamp as electrical support by using support part definitions.

Define given electrical support (P Clamp) as which Entry point and plane, Exit point and plane and Base plane.

Define all electrical properties formed as publictaions in Electrical Part desing Workbench.

BACK SHELL:

• A backshell is an accessory that mounts to rear threads of the connector to enhance its operational characteristics. The primary function of the backshell is to provide strain relief, which minimizes stress from the cable, on the junction where the wires terminate the contact.
• Backshell comes in a variety of finishes, materials, and finishes. And to provide simple cable management, most backshells may be ordered in 90 & 180 angles.

Step to develop backshell connection points:

1. Download backshell from te.com.
2. Create a point and axis at the bundle entry point.
3. X, Y, Z axis:-Left to right connection, Connection of mating direction, locking direction.
4. Define Bundle connector connection point.
5. Define Bundle connection point.

As same first, have to create geometrical properties (Points and Axis System) in the Backshell

Dfined Given Component as Backshell using Backshell Defintion tool.

Defined connection points in the backshell by using Back shell connection defintion tool fot both Bundle connection and Connector connection.

Defined all electrical properties for given Backsheel and published all properties which shown below pic.

CORRUGATED TUBES:

• Corrugated tubes are used for insulating and covering purposes for the wire bundle from any type of damage.

Step to develop Corrugated tubes:

1. Create a new part in the electrical part design
2. Select 'Define Protection part'.
3. select the axis system.
4. Gives inner diameter, outer diameter, thickness, bend radius.
5. Created catalog for corrugated tubes.
6. Repeat the same procedure for creating all corrugated tubes.

COT TUBE 5 mm

COT TUBE 10 mm

COT TUBE 15 mm

COT TUBE 20 mm

COT TUBE 35 mm

CATALOGUE FOR CORRUGATED TUBES.

Created a new catalogue for corrugated tubes.

All corrugated tubes should added to the createdcatalogue.

CONCLUSION:

Defined all necessary properties for given P Clamp, Back shell and create Corrugated tubes(5mm,10mm,15mm,20mm,35mm) and stored in the catalogue. Uploaded all part files an d catalogue file.
