Standards and specifications from various organizations provide a guideline from which manufacturers can measure different aspects of quality, while also providing the customer with the reassurance that they are purchasing a trustworthy, long-lasting product.

When Boeing was founded 100 years ago, engineers were concerned about how to use wiring to brace wings. As aircraft became more complex, engineers turned their attention to solving numerous wire harness assembly challenges. Many of their innovative solutions have been chronicled in the pages of ASSEMBLY magazine.

These techniques can help engineers error-proof the wire harness testing process.

Ferrules give stranded wire the qualities of solid wire where they are needed most —at the point of connection.

As wiring schematics become increasingly complex, engineers can’t afford to make mistakes.

PORTLAND, OR—Wire harness manufacturer AmFor Electronics has added 10,000 square feet space to its assembly plant here.
