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 catalogue
- 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 dialogue 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 dialogue 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
