Custom Wire Harness

Any time a new electronic device is created or a new car is built it takes at least one custom wire harness to connect everything together and make it all work. There is a lot more to wiring a project together that just connect the components together with lengths of wire. While this might work fine for a prototype as the designer is trying to fine tune the product and make everything work, however it is not acceptable when it comes to build the finished product on the assembly line. A custom wire harness is born out from the necessity to be able to rout multiple wires and cables through a product without having to worry about where each wire has to go on an individual basis. In general a wiring harness is more like a bundle of wires with branches coming out of it in predetermined locations so that they can be connected to the components at these locations. The main idea was born around the need for the assembly worker to be able to wire everything together very quickly without the risk of costly mistakes. Also by creating a custom wire harness the manufacturer can mass produce them very quickly and have them ready for the production line to install.

Each harness made for a particular product will be made identically; this reduces the risks of the installer making a wrong connection when he is working at full production speeds. In the past before manufacturer s started using wiring harness costly mistakes were quite common especially in the automotive field where each car had dozens of wires from headlight to taillight and everywhere in between. Once a custom wire harness has been designed and built it can be easily tested for any manufacturing defects using a standardized testing jig. This way the quality control department can plug the connectors in and by looking at the appropriate meters check for shorts, broken wires and poor connections. If and when they are found the harness can be sent back for reworking instead of sent to the customer resulting in a product that is not going to work as it was designed. In many cases before the custom wiring harness can be designed a complete working prototype of the product must be built, in others the engineers already have a good idea of what they need. At this point they can simply sit down and create the wiring harness from the schematic and send the specifications to the harness manufacturer. He will build the harness according to the engineer's requirements and after testing return them for installation. If you are looking for a company to build the custom wire harness for your next project or a manufacturer who can run complete high speed productions of your wiring harness you need to consider using JEM Electronics. JEM's facilities have been certified in accordance with the standards of ISO 9001 and TS 16949 as well as being registered with both UL and CSA to meet all of their safety requirements.
