Evolution of Wire Harnesses in the Automotive Industry

Automotive wiring harness connectors and components are technologies that are not new yet continuously evolving and innovating to adapt to modern advancements. Wiring harnesses are what transmits electrical signals to a device, equipment, or machine. They are the backbone of the electronics industry and almost everything in your house that requires electrical current has at least some form of a wiring harness.

The simplicity or complexity of a harness depends on the device it was designed for. Each is made unique with hundreds or sometimes even thousands of components depending on the design. The manufacturing and automotive industry are two examples of sectors that require harness technology that is continuously improving and developing to keep pace with the demands for newer and better wiring solutions.

The Development of the Automotive Sector

Back in 1886, the first automobile was built by the famous Carl Benz and it served its purpose of providing a more convenient mode of transportation. Today, however, the way the performance of modern vehicles has evolved is far from its initial purpose of just bringing you from point A to B.

Car manufacturers today surpass themselves annually by producing better and more efficient models compared to the previous year. These newly produced vehicles, of course, need automotive wiring harness connectors and components that are on par with the new technological developments in the design.

The Purpose of Automotive Harnesses

Multiple functions of a normal car are powered by electricity. An automotive wiring harness is what transmits and distributes electrical signals throughout different parts of the vehicle. Your dashboard, headlights, and windows are only a few of the components that are interconnected by a wiring harness.

It’s an extensive network of organized wires that are reinforced and secured to prevent external elements from damaging the entire system. It also conveniently arranges the wires according to function instead of having each of them run individually. The complexity of the harness increases as more additional functions are added to the design of a car. For newer automotive innovations such as electric or hybrid cars, the wiring harness is more unique and has more elaborate requirements and specifications.

Wiring Harnesses in Electric Vehicles

Aside from the fact that electric or hybrid cars are eco-friendly, another benefit is the range capacity and responsiveness of the vehicle. Its growing popularity means that manufacturers have to keep up with the demand with better and more reliable technology. The automotive wiring harness connectors and components in an electric or hybrid car need to be able to fully perform without any risk of failure or malfunction. This is why a series of fail-safe mechanisms need to be installed into each harness.

It’s also important to note that the wiring harness of a car accounts for quite a portion of its weight which can greatly affect the fuel consumption of a normal car. The same goes for any electric or hybrid vehicle. With a more complex and intricate wiring harness, manufacturers need to adjust and find ways to make the unit as lightweight as possible to ensure that consumers cover more miles within a single charge.
