Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge
1. BACKSHELL
Connector backshells are necessary add-ons that are threaded onto the back of a circular or rectangular connector shell to increase support, protection, and to give the connector a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Due to the wide variety of connector rear end design types, nut/bolt appearances, and assembly techniques, backshells intermate with a connector's rear end geometry, making their specification challenging. You should consider the angle/profile you need, the coupling style you need, the type of connector you're using, and the overall requirements of your application when choosing a connector backshell.
PROCEDURE:
CREATE A MIDPOINT ON THE BACKSHELL FACE
INSERT AN AXIS SYSTEM AS SHOWN BELOW
BACKSHELL DEFINITION
CREATE A MIDPOINT AND BUNDLE CONNECTION POINT

2. P-CLAMP:
"P" type mounting clips are the best components for holding or retaining pipes, cables, cable harnesses, hoses, etc. These "P" clips function as adjustable, form-fitting bands for simple assembly and installation. These clips have reinforced band ends to guard against tearing or loosening caused by heavy mechanical loads. The EPDM liners on these galvanised steel "P" clips help to achieve a tighter grip on the cable or conduit and also serve as sound and vibration dampeners.
PROCEDURE:
CREATE MIDPOINT ON BOTH SIDES FOR ENTRY AND EXIT
CREATE TWO PLANES ON THE POINT AND ONE OFFSET PLANE AS SHOWN BELOW
CREATE SUPPORT DEFINITION BY SELECTING THE RESPECTIVE PARTS, PLANES AND POINTS
3. CORRUGATED TUBES CATALOGUE:
Conduits made of corrugated material have ridges that make bending simple and stress-free. The conduit can bend around corners and through crowded areas while protecting cables thanks to the corrugation. This method can be used to make polyamide, nylon, or even polyurethane tubing.
PROCEDURE:
IN ELECTRICAL PART DESIGN SELECT DEFINE PROTECTION POINT AND ENTER THE PARAMETERS FOR EACH TUBE RESPECTIVELY AS SHOWN BELOW
CREATE A NEW CATALOGUE DOCUMENT, ADD FAMILY, TYPE AS CONDUIT. OPEN PART, ADD CATALOGUE AND FAMILY.
