WIRING HARNESS FOR TAILGATE:

AIM:

• To route the wiring harness for the given Tailgate.
• Application of all Packaging rules, Industry best practices studied in this course shall be demonstrated in design.
• Apply Protection coverings as required.

INTRODUCTION:

WIRING HARNESS OR CABLE HARNESS:

A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, wiring harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly, or wiring loom, is an assembly of electrical cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical power. The cables are bound together by a durable material such as rubber, vinyl, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a combination thereof.

No of Quantity: 5

2.

Part No: C-776438-4

No of terminals: 12

No of Quantity: 1

(b) Mounting Equipment:

Sticky Clamp

No of Quantity: 16

PACKAGING RULES:

• Wiring harness routing shall provide ease in manufacturing, accessibility, easy removal, and easy maintenance of attached equipment and wiring harnesses.
• Routing through small structural holes and openings shall be avoided, minimizing chafing and handling the wiring harness during installation.
• Avoid the harness routing and clipping in the Blind zone of the Operator during harness assembly or in service.
• Routing shall offer protection against possible damage through common misuses such as being handheld and temporary support for test equipment.
• Provide additional slack to the harness according to the surroundings and harness bending requirements.
• Ensure the routing meets the clearance requirements with different surrounding parts.
• Avoid routing over the bolts, near to the bolted joints. It may damage the harness or puncture the harness. Keep harnesses away from panel mounting screws.
• Avoid harness routing near sharp edges, if not possible provide protection to the harness.
• The maximum distance between two clips on a straight branch is 200mm.
• Provide Clips and clamps if the harness is going to bend at multiple locations.
• The use of too many sheet-metal brackets should be avoided.
• The branch length should be more than 50 mm.
• Min distance between clip and branching point to be 25 mm.
• Min distance between two branch breakouts should be 50 mm.
