FAQ
about Wire Harnesses​

A wire is a strand of material, conductive material,  that conducts electricity, such as aluminum or copper.

Cables are usually braided or twisted strands of conductor that’s then sheathed in protective material.

A wire harness is a collection of cables or wires with protective covers, sheath material like thermoplastic. In another word, a wire harness is a simple exterior sheath that covers some wires or cables.  Wire harnesses offer a low-cost solution, for they provide a bundle of cables and wires with some degree of protection while keeping them organized for ease of installation and future service.

When it comes to a brief explanation of cable assembly, it provides much more robust protection by keeping components snug within a rugged outer sheath. For this reason, cable assemblies can shield the interior wires and cables from heat, extreme heat, friction, moisture, abrasion, compression, and other hazards. 

 But people often take electrical wiring harness, loom, cable assembly, wiring assembly, coax cable, RF cable, injection-molded cable assembly, fiber optic cable, cable harness as one thing.

Heavy duty wiring harnesses are used for a wide range of applications to power large, heavy machinery. They come in various sizes and types depending on the current, voltage, frequency, or temperature that they will be exposed to.
Cable ties are small plastic strips that can be used to bundle or secure wires, cables, and other cords.
A car’s electrical system needs a power source to function properly. A wire harness provides the necessary connection between a different power source such as batteries and alternators in order for them to be able to work together without interference from one another.
Wire harnesses are a crucial part of electronics, and the size or thickness can have significant consequences. A wire with too low an electrical requirement is prone to overheating due to poor insulation while likewise one that has requirements that exceed its capacity may also overheat but for different reasons. Electrical conductivity is a measure of the ability to transmit an electrical current. A wire harness should have a low impedance in order to reduce power loss due to resistance and crosstalk, but not so much that it causes excessive attenuation or signal distortion.
 It has a simple push-button design that allows you to turn the light on and off with ease, even while wearing gloves or in low visibility situations like nighttime driving. The connector also works well as an emergency backup source of power when your vehicle battery dies!
A wire harness assembly process is responsible for linking the electrical components of a vehicle to one another. The final product should be able to withstand rigorous testing and will need an impeccable design in order to function properly. So, finish the installation by professionals or under the guidance of professionals. Making wire harnesses is no easy task, but at least we’ve got some simple wiring for you!
There is strain on wiring system from being pulled, bent, or simply flexed over time, so wire harnesses need a strain relief to keep the wires from becoming loose or breaking.
The wiring harness – wishbone style is the most efficient way to wire your car. In general, it’s less of a hassle and easier on both you and your vehicle when you use this type of wiring as opposed to standard two-wire arrangements in cars made before the 1990s or so.
Wire harnesses are called many different names, including electrical wiring harnesses, looms, cable assemblies, wiring assemblies, cable harnesses, coax cables, RF cables, injection-molded cable assemblies, fiber optic cables, and many times are simply called harnesses. They are used in a variety of applications from airplane engines to commercial and residential electrical wiring. 
The extendable wiring harness is designed to be used with any tripod, light stand, or boom pole. It can be easily attached and detached from your equipment for quick setup.
A wiring harness traceability program is a software that records and tracks the information of each individual wire in an automobile. The purpose of this system is to provide documentation for everything from manufacturing date, material composition, type number, location within the car’s electrical wiring systems, etc., allowing researchers to pinpoint any potential issues quickly without having to visually examine every inch of wiring throughout a vehicle.
As the cables are often visible, their design can be an important factor for aesthetic reasons or to optimize cooling. When it comes time to create your own cable assemblies and wire them up correctly, you’ll need these 5 things: 1) The wires of various types required by the circuit; 2) A schematic diagram showing how everything should connect together; 3) Electrical conductors (usually copper); 4 ) Insulation on electric power circuits;5). Solderless terminals If you’re looking for high-quality cable assemblies and wire harnesses, Cloom can get you what you need with advanced materials and techniques.

Custom Wiring Harness

CHAPTER 1: Everything you should know about a Wiring Harness

 Wiring harnesses are a systematic bound of electric wires that send signals and power to different electrical system points. The bounding of these electric cables is done using straps, electronic tapes, wire lacing, etc.

A wiring harness is always designed according to the application or the electric system’s specifications in which it’s needed. Over the years, there have been several developments and uses of the cable harness.

The following industry uses a lot of wire harnesses for their solutions; this includes:

  • Automotive,
  • Medical,
  • Telecommunications,
  • Acoustic,
  • Electronics.

All these industries have specific needs based on the designs, environment, electrical load, etc. Therefore, there is a need to make custom cable harness designs for every application.

Instead of connecting different cables through different electric points, a cable harness can only be designed for the system.

The advantages of using wire harnesses over loose cables are numerous;

  • reduced installation time;
  • optimum space management;
  • easy maintenance;
  • prevention of short circuits, and security from effects like vibrations, moisture, and abrasions.

Let’s start our journey of helping you make your custom wiring harness with all these in mind.

What are the things you need??

CHAPTER 2: Things you need to make your custom Wiring Harness

wiring harness
 Before making your custom wiring harness, the first and most important thing is a design or wiring diagram.

This diagram will lead you to measure wires, cutting and stripping wires, bounding the cables, etc. In the next chapter, we’d look much more into using the wiring harness diagrams.

Asides from the diagram, the following tools are needed in making a wiring harness.

  • Wire Cutter: used to cut the wires;
  • Wire Stripper: used to strip off some part of the insulation of a cable;
  • Crimping Plier/Ratcheting Crimpers: used to tighten the terminals to the stripped wires;
  • Heat Gun: uses high temperature to shrink the covering plastic tubes to the body of the cable;
  • Multimeter: used to test for continuity and other parameters within the wiring connection;
  • Heat shrink: a soft plastic used as a covering for connection joints;
  • Wires: connecting wires for the flow of signal/power from the source to the needed terminal;
  • Terminals: a plastic body with a conducting head that makes contact with the bare/stripped wire;
  • Zip Ties: used to bundle the wire harnesses neatly.

This equipment varies on the large-scale production of wiring harnesses.

There are now fully automated machines that take care of the whole process from the wire cutting, stripping, crimping, and joining terminals, etc.

These machines have correct and efficient outputs, ensuring there are no loose ends or short circuits.

That’s why we at Cloom use fully automated machines for all our custom wiring harnesses.

Like I said earlier, to make your custom wiring harness, you must first have a circuit diagram.

Let’s look in detail, why and how to use one.

CHAPTER 3: How to use a wiring harness diagram?

wiring harness

 The circuit design/diagram is very foundational to make a custom wiring harness successfully.

Everything you have to customize in your cable harness comes from a well-designed wiring diagram.

Please note, the wiring diagram is entirely different from a schematic diagram.

A wiring diagram gives a physical layout of the connection, unlike the schematic diagram.

However, it also makes use of abstract symbols to represent some components.

You can tell from the wiring harness diagram how complicated or how pure your custom wire harness would be.

Ideally, every cable harness circuit diagram will have the following;

  • Symbolized components,
  • Optimum positioning,
  • Splice positions and Wire colors.

Whatever you see on the wiring harness diagram represents what and how the wire bundling will look.

If you don’t have a wiring diagram, you need to consult an expert to design the perfect wiring diagram for your application.

This video would be a helpful link:

Once you’ve got the wiring diagram and components ready, these are the possible types of harnesses you might be making, so take note to identify them.

CHAPTER 4: Types of Wiring Harness

wiring harness

 Two major factors determine the type of wire harness to make.

Firstly, the application, secondly, the environment. Based on these two factors, there are 3 types of cable harness that you can make.

They include:

wiring harness–Open Bundle:

in this type of wiring harness, the cables are attached to the connectors and lugs and are coupled in bundles with various breakouts using plastic tie wraps or waxed lacing twine.

wiring harness–Closed Bundle:

Wires are bundled with a covering, such as pulled-on braided tubing, braided-on Nomex or nylon, or in some cases, metal braid.

Waterproof harnesses:

Legs are covered with tubing, such as neoprene. The junctions between the legs and backshells of the connectors are molded with a material such as urethane or rubber compounds.

In some cases, PVC tubing and molding are used.

Enough of theory, let’s get our hands-on; you can follow the instructions below and the shared links to customize your trailer, car stereo, and engine harness.

CHAPTER 5: How to custom Trailer Wiring Harness?

wiring harness

wiring harness–Step 1:

To make custom trailer wiring harnesses, you first have to develop an intended design based on the geometric and electrical requirements of a trailer. This design should be represented on paper so you can easily refer to it.

wiring harness–Step 2:

After putting down the design, you cut the wires into desired lengths using a wire-cutting machine/cutter.

wiring harness–Step 3:

When making the design of a custom trailer wiring harnesses, which would usually be fixed on a towing vehicle, you have to consider the requirements of the trailer; This includes powering the operating lights on the container, which are the turn, tail, stop, park and brake lights and other electrical parts of the trailer depending on the trailer. Take note of this process mentioned to ensure the towing vehicle is in total control of the container’s electrical elements.

wiring harness–Step 4:

When purchasing wires to use for a custom trailer wiring harness, you have to ensure your cables can withstand fire, abrasion, vibrations, corrosion, and extreme temperatures. One way to ensure this is by getting heat-shrink collars galvanized wire clips to make the wires firm and straps to pack the cables together.

wiring harness–Step 5:

After knowing the trailer’s electrical requirements and getting suitable wires, the next thing is to make the connections to the guiding lights, ensuring you work on one view (circuit) at a time. Connect connectors on one end of the wiring harness to the part designed for it on the towing vehicle and the other purpose to the trailer lights accordingly.

wiring harness–Step 6:

After making all the necessary connections, you then tidy up the wires using the clips, collars and straps talked about earlier so that the cables don’t just dangle around when driving. The most advisable is to tape the wires together using the straps to hold them in one place.

wiring harness–Step 7:

Put your wiring harness to test. If you encounter any problems, you can refer to this video to troubleshoot them.

Let’s move on to car stereos.

CHAPTER 6: How to make custom Stereo Wiring Harness?

wiring harness
 The function of a stereo wiring harness is to transmit audio signals.

Step 1

To make a custom wiring harness for a stereo, you have to consider the stereo port and pins in it. Check the pins in it and find out each of the nails; This varies from stereo to stereo, so it’s best if you search for your particular radio on the internet to know each pin’s functions.

Step 2

After getting this, then you get wires suitable for audio transmission. The quantity of cable you will get depends on the number of pins in the port and the distance over which the wiring harness is connected.

Step 3

Then you get a connector that has pins that match the stereo’s port. Solder the wires accordingly to these pins ensuring that the pins don’t touch each other in the process; This can be achieved by insulating each connection with a piece of heat shrink.

Step 4

After soldering wires to all the pins required successfully, the next thing is to get female A/V jacks. These can be obtained from electrical stores. Solder the wires to the female A/V cords accordingly, noting that the outside metal of the A/V jack is harmful while the inside is positive.

Step 5

After this, use a multimeter to ensure that all the connections are tight and connected.

Step 6

After ensuring the connections are correct and working, make the relationships strong and durable by melting the plastic on each link using a glue gun. After this, recheck the connections to see if they are working with the multimeter.

Step 7

Lastly, bind the wire together using wire straps to make it firm and neat. Your custom stereo wiring harness is ready.

Step 8

Put your wiring harness to test. If you encounter any problems, you can refer to this video to troubleshoot them.

To the last DIY project, the engine wiring harness; This can be quite tasking, though, but we believe in you.

CHAPTER 7: How to make custom Engine Wiring Harness?

wiring harness

 Making a custom engine wiring harness depends on the engine in question and the function it’s to perform;This would determine the structure of the wiring harness.

Step 1

Highlight the function of the wiring harness in the engine. It’s essential to draw out a plan then and list out the parts and materials needed.

The wire specifications would also depend on the engine and the function the wiring harness is to perform.

Step 2

Basically, for engine wiring, relays are always used. You start by attaching the wires to the relay accordingly. After wiring the relays, you mount the relays and then create a switch and route the switch harness from the relay to the switch location accordingly.

Step 3

After making the switch connections, route the wiring towards the engine part, and make the connections there accordingly.

Step 4

After all the connections have been made, ensure the connections are working using a continuity checker.

Step 5

After this, tape the wiring together to make it firm and stable; This can be achieved via various means like using wire straps or electrical straps. After taping them together, secure the wiring harness away from moving engine parts.

Step 6

Put your wiring harness to test, and if you encounter any problems, you can refer to this video to troubleshoot it.
