Producing Beautiful Custom Wire Harnesses: Canadian Made Quality

News Team Wire Harness Quality System, Wiring Harness Manufacturing

Quality wire harness manufacturing doesn’t happen by accident.

Two main quality certifications govern the safety, performance, and repeatability of OEM wire harness and cable products.

  1. CSA (Canadian Standards Association)

and

2.  UL (The Underwriters Lab of America).

These certifications guarantee that manufacturers create products using only certified, high quality components produced by reputable companies like TE Connectivity, Panduit, Molex, Amphenol, EDAC, and JST to name a few.

The true lifespan of a wire harness is a matter of long term experience building wire harnesses and knowing the intricacies of proper crimping methods, as well as having a wire harness quality system that addresses key areas. C-T Wire Prep has been building wiring harness for nearly 30 years and has built up somewhat of a reputation in the wiring harness industry as an authority on quality.

Adhering to military grade practices and WHMA-A620D specifications, C-T has consulted and trained other wiring harness builders to perform various functions such as the proper way to dye wire, recommend wire harness testing techniques, creating gas tight “F” style crimps that meld copper and terminal metals together as one,  even processing wire and assemble harnesses as a sub contractor to other wire harness companies.

Engineering wiring harnesses/ new product realization is another service we excel at. We help our customers save time, money, and resources by choosing standardly used electrical connector families that C-T already owns tooling for thus eliminating costly start-up NRE tooling costs. Our engineers steer you to the most cost effective connection systems that are also quality connectors.

Cable assemblies are sometimes also called wire harnesses. The only difference is cable assemblies usually just have two ends like an extension cord whereas wiring harnesses have multiple branches heading off in many different directions. A wiring harness quality system must address each possibility in a custom way. C-T Wire Prep creates a custom cable assembly or custom wire harness quality plan for everything that is produced. This includes the sub assemblies right down to discrete wires.

When you need to obtain a wire harness quote C-T will require some information. Usually this information includes drawings with part numbers and descriptions of wire styles, gages, colors, lenghts, connectors and pin outs of connectors. If you require CSA wire harness or UL wire harness C-T is certified to produce both.
