P Clamos are used to clamp the Wiring Harness by providing rubber insulation in order to protect from Electrical Short circuits and damages
In clips there are 2 entry faces and 2 exit faces from Right to Left and from Left to Right.
Geometrical definations
1. Point creation
Plane Creation
Plane 01
Plane 02
Base Plane
After creating all required geometrical properties like point and plane go to electrical part workbench to create Part as Electrical component
Define P Clamp as Electrical component
we known that P Clamp is a Supporting Component use to tie the Wiring Harness Rigidly in Vehicles like Trucks ,Off Road vehicles so we need to define P Clamp as Support
SUPPORT DEFINATION
select the command as shown in fig to define as support
Support Definition
First Entry and Exit Plane Definition
in this case the Entry Point will be First Plane Defination and Exit will be Second Plane Defination.
Second Entry and Exit Plane Definition
P clamp is defined as Support Clip
Properties added
BACKSHELL DEFINITION
Download the Part using links provided
Link:https://www.te.com/usa-en/product-1738312-1.html
BACK SHELL
to define the above part as backshell we require geometric features like point and axis system
Create Geometical features
Point creation
create point by using between option
select the edge points as shown below
create another point as shown below by using circle/sphere/ellipse centre selection type
AXIS SYSTEM CREATION
before we create Axis System we should known the entry and bundle connection side and connector side
for more information we can ref the drawing which is provided.
in this case we consider rectangular side is connector connection and circular side is bundle connection side..
AXIS SYSTEM
Define Part as Electrical component (Back shell)
click on the icon showing back shell
After creating the part as backshell
we have to Define the Backshell Connection point
Define Bundle Connection Point
Electrical properties are created
CORRUGATED TUBES
Select the command Define Protection Part
15mm COT
20mm COT
35mm COT
10mm COT
5mm COT
CATALOG IS CREATED and stored as shown below
Conclusion
P clamp is downloded and support properties are added
Back shell properties are added and electrical properties are defined
Corrugated Protective tubes are created and are added to the catalogue.
