What Are Wiring Harnesses? 5 Industry Applications

Wiring harnesses have a huge range of applications, from household electronics to manufacturing robotics. All electrical tools, hardware, and equipment rely on relays that transmit electronic information and power. At our specialist workshop in Northants, we design bespoke wiring harnesses for all types of clients. In this post, we’ll show you five industry applications of harnesses and how we create them here in Northampton.

Automotive Applications

To start a car, truck, tractor, or other vehicle, you need a variety of electrical devices to send signals to the engine. The transmission of those signals is part of a complex wiring network that allows any motor vehicle to function.

We specialise in wiring harnesses for automotive vehicles and work with a range of commercial and residential clients here in Northants looking for bespoke harnesses. These harnesses can merge the engine management system, electronic controls, air conditioning, lighting, power steering, and all other electrical components to give an efficient, fully-functioning vehicle.

Manufacturing

The manufacturing industry is another of our key clients in Northants. Machinery and automated production lines require complex wiring, networks, and cabling systems to function.

Our wiring harnesses are used to connect signal and power conductors that control a range of systems, ensure proper connectivity, and allow fully optimised functionality.

Medical Applications

Electronic medical equipment, testing instruments, and devices all undergo intense use in healthcare settings. The wiring harness in any of these devices must be durable, adaptable, and fit for purpose.

Whether it’s imaging equipment or a life-saving defibrillator, a wiring harness helps ensure devices don’t fail when needed most. These differ quite significantly from other harness assemblies and require a specialist engineer to construct them.

Communication Systems

Broadband networks, routers, modems, and any other kind of electrical communication system will also require specialised harnesses to function. This type of equipment relies on customised, tailored harnesses for a wide range of applications, helping meet the demands of global connectivity.

Military Applications

Another major application of wiring harnesses is in the military. The DoD has stringent specifications for all cabling and wiring used in the military, and everything must be designed to withstand extreme environments.
