Wire harness is an indispensable part of electrical connection. Its complexity and diversity make it necessary to understand the classification methods of wire harness. Below we will introduce several common classification methods of wire harness to help you better understand the different types of wire harness and choose the appropriate wire harness products.
1. Classification by purpose
According to the purpose of the wire harness, it can be classified into wire harnesses in different fields, such as automotive wire harnesses, photovoltaic wire harnesses, energy storage wire harnesses, industrial equipment wire harnesses, etc. Wire harnesses for different purposes have different design requirements and performance indicators. For example, automotive wire harnesses need to consider electrical characteristics, waterproof performance, high temperature resistance and other characteristics, while photovoltaic wire harnesses need to have weather resistance and UV resistance to cope with harsh environments.
2. Classification by function
Wire harnesses can be classified according to their functions into: power harnesses, signal harnesses, control harnesses, etc. Power harnesses are mainly used to transmit electrical energy, and their conductors are usually copper wires or aluminum wires. Common ones include household wires, industrial wires, cables, etc. Signal harnesses are mainly used to transmit signals, and common ones include audio harnesses, video harnesses, etc. Control harnesses are mainly used to transmit control signals, and common ones include robot control harnesses, automation system control harnesses, etc.
3. Classification by structure
According to the structure and wiring method of the wire harness, it can be divided into scattered wire harness and bundled wire harness. Dispersed wiring harness is a distributed arrangement of wires that are independent of each other and is suitable for simpler applications. A bundled wire harness bundles multiple wires together to form a predetermined shape and wiring structure, and is mainly used in complex application scenarios.
4. Classification by electrical performance
Wire harnesses can be classified according to their electrical performance, such as low-voltage wire harnesses, high-voltage wire harnesses, signal wire harnesses, and power wire harnesses. Wire harnesses with different electrical performance have different requirements in terms of current, voltage, signal transmission, etc. For example: high-voltage wire harnesses are suitable for power transmission, while signal wire harnesses are used to transmit low-level signals.
5. Classification by cable type
Wire harnesses can be classified according to different cable types, such as power harnesses, communication harnesses, fiber optic harnesses, and coaxial harnesses. Different types of harnesses use different cable materials and connectors. For example, fiber optic harnesses are suitable for high-speed data transmission, while coaxial harnesses are suitable for radio frequency signal transmission.
6. Classification by wire harness size
Wire harnesses can be classified according to their size, such as small-sized wire harnesses, medium-sized wire harnesses, and large-sized wire harnesses. Wire harnesses of different sizes are suitable for different assembly spaces and equipment requirements. Small-sized wire harnesses are suitable for compact spaces, such as electronic products and precision instruments; while large-sized wire harnesses are used for high-power equipment, such as industrial machinery and automotive equipment.
7. Classification by Harness Complexity
Harnesses can be classified according to their complexity and difficulty, such as simple harnesses, complex harnesses, and high-density harnesses. Harnesses with higher complexity require higher technical requirements and manufacturing skills. High-density harnesses are suitable for occasions that require a large amount of signal transmission, while simple harnesses are suitable for basic circuit connections.
8. Classification by wiring harness environment
Wire harnesses can also be classified according to their use environment, such as indoor wiring harnesses, outdoor wiring harnesses, high temperature wiring harnesses, low temperature wiring harnesses, waterproof wiring harnesses, etc. Wire harnesses in different environments need to have corresponding protection and adaptability. For example: high temperature wiring harnesses require high temperature resistant materials and heat insulation measures, while waterproof wiring harnesses require waterproof insulation materials and sealing structures to ensure that the wiring harnesses are not damaged in humid or flooded environments.
