The electrical harness system of satellite launch vehicles functions as the backbone of spacecraft avionics; inter connecting subsystems through complex networks of wires and connectors. An electrical harness is a group of wires bunched together and terminated in connectors. The common insulations used for launch vehicle applications include PTFE, Polyimide, ETFE and TKT. The connectors used are of aerospace grade and connectors tailored for space applications. With over 5000 connectors and 200 km of cables constituting nearly 20% of vehicle mass, the design, fabrication, and sustainability of these systems are critical. The insulations of connectors inserts or the wires are critical for the durability of harness elements. Nevertheless, these insulations are non-expendable and pose disposal challenges and some releases toxic gases when burned or due to vacuum outgassing phenomenon. Also, the cadmium plating which is often used for the environmental resistance of connector shells

Reliable component libraries are the foundation of the engineering process and the starting point for all intelligence within CAD tools. In practice, however, libraries created and maintained by librarians often contain incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated data. This paper introduces the component data consistency and relationship inference AI system, developed within Amoeba software, which addresses these challenges by improving component library quality. The system uses AI to infer component attributes such as component type, gender, color, material, etc. Moreover, it can identify relationships such as the family a connector is associated with based on its attributes and geometry. The system improves data consistency in areas such as resolving mismatched wire size constraints imposed by the connector and cavity components. It also utilizes computer vision to identify common connector footprints, cavity sizes, and 2D symbol geometries. Deployed within Amoeba software, the system has

This specification covers four series of electrical connectors (plugs and receptacles) with removable crimp contacts and accessories (see 6.1). AS81511 connectors are not recommended for new design. All AS81511 detail sheets that specified class D and/or H have been cancelled without replacement, therefore all class D and H requirements have been deleted from this specification. Electrical, mechanical and environmental features of these connectors include: Environment resisting at sea level and high altitude. Quick disconnect. RFI/EMI (Radio Frequency Interference/Electromagnetic Interference) protection (includes shell to shell grounding spring members). High density insert arrangements. Low level circuit capabilities. Scoop-proof. Fluid resistant class provided. High temperature class provided. Several voltage service ratings available. Individual contact release from the rear of the connector (series 3 and 4 only).
