Abstract

The mold design for automobile wiring harness connectors plays a important role in maintaining the quality of the automotive electronic system. This project aims at a design approach with injection molding machine selection and mold flow analysis for a newly developed 16-cavity mold for a 2-pole automobile wiring harness connector. The designed mold is validated with the Solidworks plastic simulation software to verify the flow parameters such as fill time, ease of fill, cooling channel efficiency and possible defects that might occur such as warpage and shrinking. The calculated data and the analysis results are compared. The project helps in understanding the input parameters that needs to be considered during a mold design and steps to validate the same.
