SOLUTION METHODOLOGY:

P-clamp is an electrical support equipment which provides support to the wire bundle to remain fixed to the automobile or any components or parts.
the bundle can enter an exit from any side as it is bi-directional equipment.
so,we need to specify entry and exit points from both sides.
To define the p-clamp as electrical support equipment we need to follow the below steps.

Figure-1 : It shows that the given P-clamp is electrically definesd

BACKSHELL:
A back shell is an accessary that mounts to the rear threads of a connector to enhance its operational characteristics .The primary function of a backshell is to provide strain releif,which minimizes stress from the cable, on the junction where the wires terminate to the contacts.
Backshells come in a variety finishes ,materials, and angle configurations.For material compatibilty and aeshtetics,backshells and connectors should have a matching material & finish and to provide simple cable management,most backshells may be ordered in 45 & 90 degree.
to define the electrical properties of the backshell we need to follow the below steps

The below figure shows that backshell is electrically defined

The required clips,Backshells,Corrugated tubes are defined electricaly in CATIA V5
