Question

Cabling wire with housing and crimp contacts

Hello!

 

I have the problem to understand how can I do a rooting and manufacture drawing of the wiring with:

 

2x housing, 2 wires, 4 crimp contacts.

 

Even I do the rooting, I use the C-Sys of the housing parts. All is going well, but afterword's in the manufacture drawing I have the correct table with the 2 wires, and another table with the 2 housings. This is OK. But I wish to have also the 4 crimp contacts. 

How can I put this parts in?

The crimp contacts can be done with 100% geometry, but better is if these should be just a empty parts.

Are there some ideas for this?

 

Thank you!

Hi,

 

We add the crimp contacts into the drawing tables by adding the "TERM_NAME" parameter for each connector (see attached terminator_added_to_cbln_prms.JPG). In this example I edited the TERM_NAME for two connectors. New crimp names are Other_crimp_name and Some_crimp_name.

 

After this we use the following report parameters on our drawing tables (terminator_tables_in_drawing.JPG)

&harn.term.name
&harn.run.cond.from.term.name
&harn.run.cond.to.term.name

 

You can add extra info to the terminator via the "Logical Data -> Terminators -> Edit" (Description, Manufacturer). For the crimp quantities table we use parameters...

&harn.term.name
&harn.term.qty
&harn.term.MANUFACTURER
&harn.term.MANUFACTURER_CATALOG
&harn.term.DESCRIPTION

 

Currently we do not use any empty parts for the crimps on our model tree since our subcontractor uses only the drawing information to create the harnesses. 

 

Br,
