Wiring harness routing & packaging Rules Week 3 Challenge

Aim:

• To solve the above parts and define it as Electrical support using Electrical Part design Workbench and Define all the necessary properties.

1. PART-1 : P - CLAMP:            

• 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.
• They Bracket wires, Cables or hoses together mechanically and are fastened securely to an anchor point - usually with a Screw or a Bolt.
• In P-Clamp the wire bundle can enter and exit from any side as it is a bi-directional equipment, so we need specify the exit and entry points for both sides.

Step-1:

• Download the Cat part and open it in catia v5 software

                                                                

Step-2:

• Determine the entry and exits point in the part workbench and create the planes for both sides as well as for base.

                                                              

                                                              

Step-3:

• Navigate to Electrical Part Workbench and define the support part for both the sides.

      2. BACKSHELL

• 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 materialcompatibility and aesthetics, backshells and connectors should have a matching material and finish. And to provide simple cable management, most backshells may be ordered in 45º and 90º angles.

      Step-1:

• Downlaod the Catpart and open it in the Catia V5 Software

                                                           

     Step-2:

• Define the Bundle entry side and Connector mating side and create the mid point and axis for the required 

     Bundle Entry side:

                                                         

       Connector mating side:

                                                          

• Y- axis: Normal to the mating surface
• X-axis: Normal to the locking side

         Step-3:

• Navigate to Electrical part work bench and define the component as Blackshell.

                                                     

     Step-4:

• Define backshell connection  point

                                                   

      Step-5:

• Define Bundle connection point

       3. CORRUGATED TUBES:

• Corrugated Tubes are used as protection coverings for the wire bundle from any type of damages.

      Step-1:

• Create Catalogue document add cottubes and select conduit as type .

                                                              

      Step-2:

• Creating the following corrugated tubes as per the dimensions given in the table and storing in the Slit COT family catalogue document.

Name	ID (mm)	OD (mm)	Thickness (mm)
15mm COT	12	15	1.5
20mm COT	17	20	1.5
35mm COT	32	35	1.5
10mm COT	7	10	1.5
5mm COT	3	5	1

15mm COT:

                                                      

20mm COT:

                                                     

35mm COT:

                                                    

10mm COT:

                                                   

5mm COT:
