Formalization of Low-frequency Rectangular Electrical Connectors Design Method

The article deals with the design process of low-frequency rectangular electrical connectors and determining the position CAD/CAE-systems in it. The review of the actual literature shows that development trends of design and technological preparation of low-frequency rectangular electrical connectors production mean using CAD/CAM/CAE-systems. But at the moment these systems are used for solving partial issues. The authors formalize the empirical method of the design and systemize the factors, which influence the design process. As a result of the mentioned above actions, the working algorithm of the multipurpose CAD/CAE electrical connectors design system was obtained. The results of the research were applied to automize the design process of connectors housings.
