Design of Wire Harness

When designing your wire harness, there are a few things to bear in mind. As a consequence, the process will be more efficient, and the products will be more effective. A wire hareness consultant will provide a wide knowledge about wire harness engineering services.

 

 

1-Environmental Points to Consider

 

Every harness's design is influenced by a variety of elements, one of the most important of which is the environment in which it will be used. Wires running near the engine or exhaust, for example, are subjected to substantial heat, while others may be exposed to water, dirt, grease, or chemicals.

 

2-Parts to Think About

 

When you send designs to an outsourcing partner, such as a contract manufacturer, you'll almost certainly include a components list. If you use your own component numbers on your drawings, ensure sure your outsourcing partner can cross-reference them to a manufacturer and a manufacturer part number.

 

3-Additional Information to Include in the Outline Before Design

 

Knowing all of this will help you make decisions about materials and design parameters:

 

a-Tolerances and lengths. Make sure you understand your measurements and tolerances. Some OEMs prefer to measure from the connections' front, while others prefer to measure from the back.

 

b-Covering. There are various sorts available, including braided loom, split sleeve, conduit, and tape; each serves a particular function and has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.

 

c-Splicing and the sites of splices. A wire or circuit can be spliced in a variety of ways.

 

d-Color and marking of wires. Note wire colours as well as any text you want printed or tagged on your wires to aid in circuit identification.

 

e-Type. There are many distinct varieties of wire, each with its own set of characteristics, such as voltage ratings, insulation material, bare or plated copper, and so on.

 

4-Plan for Change Management

 

It's nearly tough to create the perfect balance of details on a drawing. Too much information can result in cluttered drawings that are difficult to read, prone to errors/inconsistencies. Determine the appropriate strategy to manage markups on drawings, deviations, and changes with your contract manufacturing partner.
