Wire Harnesses

​

Wire harnesses are groups of wires and/or cables engineered to be grouped together for efficiency and manufacturability. Like cable assemblies, they support the core functions of a product by carrying its power and/or data. Wire harnesses also include terminals that allow for connection points across the length and layout of the harness allowing connection to other electrical components. Wire harnesses essentially provide an optimized way to keep electrical systems organized and ensure that power, data, and signals flow as designed. Bundling together wires and cables allows engineers and electrical contractors to design more streamlined, cost effective, easily manufactured and better documented devices.

 

Wire harnesses range from a relatively simple set of wires, terminations, and connectors to the very complex with many wire types and hundreds connection points.  While the individual wires or cables in a wire harness are usually covered in a basic layer of sheathing; they are not as ruggedized as heavier-duty cable assemblies.

​

DECA Manufacturing builds wire harnesses with materials up to 28 gauge. We create custom layouts for each harness we manufacture to ensure quality, repeatability, and efficiency. The services we offer include:

​

• Engineering support

• Experienced harness board building

• Wire marking and labeling

• Automated cut/strip capabilities

• Terminal press crimping

• Hand assembly with advanced cable tie tools

 

We have a wide variety of equipment, applicators, and hand tools available in our facility to ensure quality, reliability, and efficiency. We regularly obtain the specialized connectors and military spec components which are required for specialized harnesses and handle custom layouts.

 

DECA has access to the materials, tools and expertise to build the customized wire harnesses your application requires. To fabricate your wire harnesses we need the following information:

​

• prints, drawings or schematics

• bill of materials (BOM)

• approved vendor list (AVL)
