Our manufacturing processes comply with ISO9001 and IATF16949 quality management requirements.

Automotive Wire Harness Design Is More Than Connecting Wires

Automotive wiring is not only about connecting one wire to another. A vehicle harness must work reliably under vibration, movement, temperature change, moisture, dust and mechanical stress.

During design review, Yihetai helps customers confirm connector matching, terminal selection, wire gauge, branch length, sleeve protection, fuse or relay requirement, sealing method, label marking and final testing requirement.

Design FactorWhy It Matters
Connector MatchingEnsures correct mating with vehicle-side devices
Terminal CrimpingAffects electrical contact and long-term reliability
Wire GaugeMust match current load and voltage drop requirement
Branch LengthHelps the harness fit the actual vehicle routing path
Routing SpaceHarness must fit inside vehicle panels or equipment layout
Protection SleeveHelps resist abrasion, vibration and mechanical damage
Sealed ConnectorUsed for moisture, dust or outdoor exposure
Fuse / Relay DesignSupports power protection and accessory control
LabelsHelps installation, maintenance and production traceability
Electrical TestingConfirms continuity, pinout, polarity and short/open status

This is why automotive wire harnesses should be designed according to the real vehicle application, not only by connector appearance.

Automotive Wire Harness Types We Manufacture

Yihetai can manufacture different automotive wire harnesses and cable assemblies according to customer drawings, samples and application requirements.

Automotive Connectors, Terminals & Sealing Options

Connector and terminal selection is one of the most important parts of automotive wire harness design. A wrong connector, loose terminal or unsuitable seal may cause poor contact, water ingress, unstable power supply or field failure.

Yihetai can help review connector type, terminal style, wire size and sealing structure according to your application.

ComponentAvailable Options
Connector TypeSealed connector, wire-to-wire connector, board connector, automotive-style connector or customer-specified connector
Terminal TypeCrimp terminal, ring terminal, spade terminal, bullet terminal, blade terminal or custom terminal
Sealing OptionRubber seal, waterproof connector, heat shrink, grommet or rubber boot
Connector LockingLocking clip, latch, secondary lock or customer-specified locking structure
Terminal MaterialCopper, brass, tin-plated copper or project-specific material
Wire EndOpen wire, tinned wire, crimp terminal, connector or custom termination
MountingClip, clamp, bracket, panel pass-through or custom fixing method
IdentificationCable label, circuit label, color marking, barcode label or part number label


Before production, we recommend confirming the mating connector, terminal size, wire gauge and sealing requirement using a drawing, sample or connector datasheet.

Vehicle Environment & Harness Protection Design

Automotive wire harnesses may be installed in different vehicle areas. Each area has different risks such as heat, vibration, water splash, dust, oil, abrasion or limited routing space.

Vehicle EnvironmentHarness Design Focus
Engine BayHeat, oil, vibration and protective sleeve

Harness protection options may include corrugated conduit, braided sleeve, PVC tape, fabric tape, heat shrink tube, grommet, rubber boot, cable tie, clip or custom fixing method.

Fuse, Relay & Power Distribution Options

Many automotive harness projects require fuse or relay structures to support safe power distribution and accessory control. Yihetai can customize fuse relay harnesses according to current load, circuit function and installation method.

OptionPurpose
Inline Fuse HolderAdds overcurrent protection to accessory wiring
Blade Fuse HolderCommon for low-voltage vehicle wiring
Waterproof Fuse HolderUsed for outdoor or moisture-exposed wiring
Relay Socket HarnessUsed for lighting, horn, fan or accessory control
Switch HarnessUsed for dashboard or control panel operation
Battery Ring TerminalUsed for power input or grounding
Ground WireSupports stable electrical connection
Splitter BranchDistributes power to multiple devices
Protective LabelIdentifies voltage, fuse rating or circuit function
Heat Shrink ProtectionAdds insulation and strain relief

Fuse rating, relay type and wire gauge should be confirmed according to customer drawings, load current and application requirement.

Automotive Signal, Camera & Sensor Harness Design

Automotive harnesses are not only used for power. Many vehicle systems also require signal, camera or sensor wiring. These applications may require shielding, stable routing, waterproof connector matching and correct pinout.

Harness Function Design Focus
Camera Cable Harness Video signal, connector matching, shielding and routing
Parking Sensor Harness Sensor channel identification and waterproof connector
Temperature Sensor Harness Cable material and signal stability
Pressure Sensor Harness Reliable pinout and sealed connection
Control Signal Harness Pinout accuracy and label marking
CAN / LIN Related Wiring Twisted pair, shielding if required and stable routing
Dashboard Signal Cable Compact wiring, switch connection and labels
Vehicle Display Cable Signal stability and connector matching

For sensor and signal harnesses, please provide the pinout, connector datasheet or existing sample before quotation. For camera, sensor, CAN/LIN and other signal circuits, Yihetai can also provide custom EMI shielded cable assemblies to help improve signal stability in vehicle electronic systems.

Cable Protection, Sleeve & Labeling Options

Protection and identification are very important for automotive harness installation. A harness may need abrasion protection, organized routing, circuit labels or barcode traceability.

Protection / Marking OptionPurpose
Corrugated ConduitMechanical protection and cable routing support
Braided SleeveAbrasion protection and clean appearance
PVC Tape WrappingHarness bundling and flexible routing
Fabric TapeNoise reduction and interior harness protection
Heat Shrink TubeInsulation, strain relief and marking
GrommetPanel pass-through protection
