Wire Harness and Cable Assembly
What Is a Wire and a Cable
에이 wire is a single strand of conductive material such as copper, aluminum, or tin.
에이 cable, on the other hand, consists of two or more wires bundled together, often braided or bonded.
What Is a Wire Harness and Cable Assembly
✅ Wire Harness
-
에이 simple outer sheath that holds together wires or cables.
-
Usually made from thermoplastic or thermoset material to provide basic protection.
-
Ideal for organizing internal wiring in controlled environments.
-
Limitations: Not designed to withstand extreme temperature, friction, or moisture.
✅ Cable Assembly
-
A more rugged, protective casing that encloses wires or cables.
-
Typically made from heavy-duty materials like vinyl or thermoplastic rubber.
-
Designed for harsh environments: 열, 수분, abrasion, vibration, 등.
Key Differences Between Wire Harness and Cable Assembly
Application Environments
| Feature | Wire Harness | Cable Assembly |
|---|---|---|
| Usage | Internal use (PCs, 전자 장치) | Industrial or outdoor applications |
| Conditions | Stable, dry, enclosed | Harsh: dust, oil, temperature swings |
| Space Constraints | Flexible, compact design | Custom sizes and robust builds |
Structure & 재료
| Feature | Wire Harness | Cable Assembly |
|---|---|---|
| Sheath | Light plastic or rubber wrap | Heavy-duty thermoplastic or vinyl |
| 레이어 | Thin external sheath over pre-insulated wires | Fully enclosed, high-strength structure |
| Cost | Low-cost solution | Higher cost, more robust |
Durability
-
Wire Harness: Limited durability; suitable for low-risk environments.
-
Cable Assembly: High durability; resists heat, pressure, 수분, and mechanical stress.
PCB Wire Harness Applications
🟢 PCB Wire Harness
-
Connects printer heads to the mainboard.
-
Also used in scanners, copiers, plotters, audio systems, IoT devices, 등.
-
보장합니다 stable signal transmission in modern electronics.
🔵 PCB Data Wire Harness
-
Built with pure copper core and quality plastic insulation.
-
Designed to transmit data signals within electronic and electrical devices.
🔴 PCB Power Wire Harness
-
Equipped with precision copper terminals and flame-retardant sheaths.
-
Connects AC power to PCBs via:
-
U-shape / O-shape terminals
-
Fast-plug connectors
-
-
One end is soldered to the PCB; the other may have a terminal.
