1. Introduction
- A wire harness or cable assembly comprises bundled wires or cables designed to transmit electrical signals or power.
- Wires or cables are commonly secured with wire ties, lacing, sleeves, tape, conduit, or a combination of these methods.
- Harnesses offer several advantages over loose wires and cables, including reduced installation time and enhanced standardization.
- Wires often have terminals that are assembled into keyed housings, ensuring error-proof connections with other components of the final assembly.
- Due to the complexity of the process, harness assembly is typically performed manually.
- Wire harness design is frequently overlooked during product development, which can lead to incomplete drawings and manufacturing challenges.
- Collaborating with Thermtrol early in the design phase can help prevent last-minute changes and streamline the process.
