Master Switch Box

Subteam: ElectricalSubsystem: Electrical HarnessAssembly: Wire Harness/Connectors AssemblyCars: CR22, CR25, CR26E

Purpose

Houses the master switches and their wiring at the rear of the car.

Function

Rules require the switches be accessible from outside the vehicle and clearly marked.

Design Process

No part-specific design process is documented. The Electrical Harness subsystem design process applies: 1. Collect the sensor list and the datalogger assignment for each sensor. 2. Draw the harness in RapidHarness: main connectors, sensor connectors, connections, then bundles and split points. 3. Order wire early. BMRSWired lead time has run 2 weeks to 3 months and is the single highest-impact long lead item. 4. Cut and crimp terminals, assemble connectors, build service loops. 5. Twist the harness, cover with DR-25 heat shrink, test fit on the frame, then install and recover transition boots and connector boots.

Manufacturing Process

Purchased.
