Without a sculptor, a piece of clay or marble can never reach its full artistic potential. Rotary, V and die blades in automatic cutting and stripping (CAS) machines serve a similar role to help conductive wire and cable achieve its full electric potential as part of a harness.

Contract manufacturer Electronic Technologies International Inc. (ETI) has been in business for more than 25 years. With approximately 75 employees working in two shifts, the company provides printed circuit board (PCB) assembly, wire harness assembly and box build services at a 32,000-square-foot, ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility in Fort Atkinson, WI.

Harness design software interfaces with other software tools to reduce development time and prevent errors.

When routing a wiring harness in an aircraft, engineers should pay attention to the proximity of the wires to hydraulic lines, mechanical cables and other parts.

SAE AS85049 Specification was established to standardize shield termination bands.

Peel-and-stick labels, heat-shrink tubing and plastic carriers are the most reliable ways to identify wires in harnesses and electrical panels.

Myriad factors influence how and why harness assemblers set up their shops.

Carbon nanotube wiring is light, strong and efficient in transmitting electrical current.
