Every electronic device and machine has different operational needs. Although the design of the wire harness may vary greatly depending on the application of the machine or equipment, the three core components of the wire harness are the same. The wiring harness assembly consists of connectors, terminals, and of course wires. Connectors and terminals are very important in the design and manufacture of wiring harnesses. In addition, the different types of connectors and terminals used in the wire harness also determine the performance, stability and reliability of the wire harness. In general, the different kinds of wire harnesses are:
· Automotive wire harnesses
· Body wiring harnesses
· Electrical wire harnesses — used in pumps, telecom machines and other heavy machinery
· Electronic wire harnesses — used in TVs, computers and all types of electronic gadgets
· Engine wiring harnesses
· Chassis wiring harnesses
