Wire Harnesses – What And How - Miracle Electronics

Wire harnesses are a group of wires or cables assembled together electrically and mechanically so that they can align, stay organized, keep the space neat, and transmit electrical power or electronic signals, depending upon the application. A wire harness generally contains cable lugs, plugs, connectors, heat shrinks, splices, strain reliefs, and more. Depending upon where and how it needs to be used, the components are decided upon.

How are wire harnesses manufactured?

First and foremost, there is a designer who understands the requirement of the end product and application, and designs a wire harness drawing that is most appropriate. Every detail is mentioned in the drawing, like the number of wires, the types of wires, the components to be used, the assembling positions, and more. In accordance with this drawing, the craftsman will assemble all the components and manufacture a wire harness. This could be an automated or a manual process, depending upon what is required, and which manufacturer has being given the job to be done. Also, wire harnesses are generally assembled at off-site locations and are then brought to be used as factory installed components at the end product manufacturing facility. However, this may vary too as per the requirements. Whatever your choice, remember that assembling a wire harness requires a careful eye, complete knowledge, and the correct aligning of all the wires involved. Thus, every detail is to be taken into account, and worked upon carefully to make it possible to build a standard product. This is why you need to have your harnesses made only by reputed and trusted wireharness manufacturers in India, one like Miracle Electronics, who has been in the business for more than the past decade, and has earned a name as a trusted brand.

What are the benefits of a wire harness?

Wire harnesses combine a bundle of wires. This reduces the space that multiple single wires would otherwise take in a premise. Also, one individual wire may be long enough to stretch over several meters. A wire harness neatly binds such long wires together, which would otherwise cause trips, falls, or tangles if left lying on the ground.

Wire harnesses safely jacket the inner wires, which makes it protect the wires against adverse conditions like vibration, abrasion, moisture, and more. Thus, the wires within are safe, secure, and free from damage, which not only increases the lifespan of the wires, but also eliminates all kinds of faults and shorts that any damaged wire would cause to an appliance.

When installing a multitude of individual wires together, it may take a lot of time and effort. Also, a professional will be needed who understands what each wire does and then inserts the wire into the product accordingly one by one. It also becomes important to remember where each wire goes before dismantling the wire for repair, replacement, or maintenance; so that they can be placed back the same way. But, when a single wire harness is used in place of multiple individual wires, all such hassles are eliminated. The installation process, repairing, replacement, maintenance, and every else becomes quick and easy. Every process is also standardized, along with becoming fast.

All in all, wire harnesses can result in a highly secured and systematic application with minimal error, and a shorter time to market the product.
