The Manufacturing Process of Wire Harnesses
Leave a CommentWire harnesses consist of bundles of wire, cable, or subassemblies, combined with other conductive materials, and they are used to transmit electricity in various applications. The bundling of these components makes it easier to install electrical components for signaling or power transmission. In addition, other benefits of using wire harnesses include increased productivity, lower costs, […]
Ribbon Cables
Leave a CommentAlso called a planar cable or flat ribbon cable, a ribbon cable has a wide, flat rectangular shape that resembles a ribbon. Each ribbon cable holds parallel wires that run on a flat plane. The distinct design makes it easier to work with when space is limited. Learn more about the types of ribbon cables, […]
Wire Harness vs. Cable Assembly
Leave a CommentCable assemblies and wire harnesses are often referred to interchangeably because they both provide power to electrical devices. However, they are two different kinds of products. A wire harness is a bundle of wires organized together by a low-cost exterior wrap or sleeving. The wires are electrically conductive material, such as copper or aluminum. A […]

Box-Build Assembly Process: A Quick Guide
Leave a CommentBox-builds refer to the combination of subassemblies and/or electro-mechanical components within a panel or enclosure. Depending on the specifications of your particular application, box-builds can either be a simple installation of a single PCB in a small enclosure or a highly complex and intricate installation of numerous components and subassemblies into large panels. Box-Build Assembly […]
Wire Insulation – A Material Guide | Types and Applications
Leave a CommentWire insulation is a crucial outer layer applied to wires and cables to protect the wires from external conditions. The insulation or jacket simultaneously prevents current from leaking from the wires into the surrounding area. To meet the needs of a diverse range of wire materials, settings, and applications, wire insulation is available in a […]
PVC vs Teflon Insulated Wire
Leave a CommentWire insulation is essential for preventing electrical shorts between conductors. There are several types of wire insulations to choose from, and each material has different characteristics and advantages. This blog post will discuss the differences between PVC and Teflon wire insulation, as well as some of the most common applications of each type. PVC Wire […]
A Guide to the Different Types of Coaxial Cables
Leave a CommentCoaxial cables are a type of transmission cable used to transmit radio frequency (RF) signals. They generally consist of four layers—the inner conductor layer, the inner conductor insulating layer, the conductive shield layer, and the insulating outer jacket layer. This shielded design enables signal carrying voltage to flow through the central conductor with minimal interference […]
The Critical Role of Box-Build Assemblies
Leave a CommentWhat is a Box Build? A box build is an enclosure or panel used for the integration of a system’s electro-mechanical components. A box build can be as simple as a small plastic enclosure with just one or several components or more complex, with a larger enclosure designed for full system integration of multiple electro-mechanical […]
