Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

WIRE HARNESS ROUTING AND PACKAGING

In this exercise, electrical definition for P Clamp, Tyco 1738312 Backshell and various Corrugated tubes were created

SUPPORT

The support definition is given for supporting parts such as clips and clamps
The clamp used in this is called P Clamp
This P Clamp has rubber coating which prevents damage to the wire
First, the part is saved and added in the connector catalouge
Since it is a supporting device, there will be various entries and exits, there are 2 entry and exit in this case
The add support is clicked and the P Clamp is selected
The points and planes are added to define the entry and exit point
In support dialouge box, the first point is selected and its corresponding plane is selected, then the second plane is selected and finally the base plane is selected
This defines entry from one side
The same step is repeated on the other side with second point and second plane

BACKSHELL

Backshells are devices that allow connection to made in tricky places where normal connectors cannot be used
The backshell is downloaded from the site and saved as .cat part
The respective points and axis is given
The entry axis is the one that has no mechanical locking to it
The define backshell is pressed and the part is clicked, the extra length is set to unset
Define Backshell Connection Point is given and the exit point is selected for point, The corresponding face is selected and the Y axis is selected for coincidence, Z axis as orientation
This defines the Backshell

CORRUGATED TUBES

A new part is created
Define protection part is clicked and the partbody is selected
A dialouge box appears with drop down box consisting of Corrugated tubes and Tapes
The Corrugated Tubes is selected
The Inner diameter, thickness, Bend radius are given and ok is clicked
This created a corrugated tube which allows us to apply to given bundle
