Custom Cable Harness Assembly: Design & Manufacturing Considerations
Y.C. Cable is a well-known and experienced custom cable harness assembly firm based in the California Bay Area, USA, that has been delivering bespoke cable assemblies and wire harness assemblies since 1985. Cable harness assemblies, also known as wire harnesses or wiring assemblies, are made up of many different components, including cables, wires, terminals, connections, and sleeves. These assemblies are essential to a wide range of equipment and applications because they play a critical role in sending information signals, power, or data between different sections of an electrical system.
Custom Cable Harnesses Tailored to Your Designs
Y.C. Cable makes custom cable harnesses according to your designs and meets your requirements. A custom cable harness can be easily fixed and protected from the adverse effects of vibration, abrasion, and moisture. By combining wires and cables into non-flexible harnesses, space utilization can be optimized and electrical short circuits can be greatly reduced. A well-designed custom cable harness can reduce the installation time in production and make the process easy to standardize.
Custom Cable Harnesses: Benefits and Manufacturing Process
In order to have an efficient wire harness assembly product, the initial stages of wire harness design need to apply electrical requirements and space constraints, and then provide a wiring diagram for the wire harness. Although automated manufacturing has increased, manual manufacturing of wiring harness assemblies is usually still more cost-effective due to the many different processes involved. Cable harness manufacturing may involve a combination of automated and manual processes depending on the design, wire and connector requirements, routing complexity, quantities, and approved manufacturing documentation.
Certifications, Manufacturing Standards & Quality
Y.C. Cable supports cable harness assembly programs using customer-approved drawings, BOMs, wiring diagrams, connector specifications, inspection criteria, and testing requirements.
Certifications vary by manufacturing location and operation. Applicable certification scope and customer-specific workmanship requirements should be confirmed for each program.
Inspection and testing are performed according to the approved product documentation and customer requirements.
