Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
Q1. Download the following cad data & define it as Electrical support using the Electrical Part Design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.
Answer.
- P-Clamp is a piece of Electrical Support equipment that provides support to the wire bundle to remain fixed to the automobile or any components or parts.
- The wire bundle can enter and exit from any side as it is a piece of bi-directional equipment.
- So, we need to specify the Entry and Exit points from both sides.
Q2. Download the following Back shell cad data & define it as an Electrical back shell using the Electrical Part Design Workbench. Define all the necessary properties.

Answer.
- A backshell is an accessory that mounts to the rear threads of a connector to enhance its operational characteristics. The primary function of a backshell is to provide strain relief, which minimizes stress from the cable, on the junction where the wires terminate to the contacts.
- Backshells come in a variety of finishes, materials, and angle configurations. For material compatibility and aesthetics, backshells and connectors should have a matching material and finish. And to provide simple cable management, most backshells may be ordered at 45º and 90º angles.

CONCLUSION:
- From the above assignment, we learnt how to define the Electrical support for a P-Clamp and also define its Electrical properties.
- We also learnt how to Electrical Backshell for a Backshell component and also define its Electrical properties.
- We also learnt how to make Corrugated Tubes of different diameters and also save them in the respective families in the Corrugated Tubes catalogues.
