Functions and Roles of Automotive Wiring Harnesses
1 Answers
Automotive wiring harnesses are components formed by bundling wires to connect circuits. The following are the functions and roles of automotive wiring harnesses: 1. Automotive wires, also known as low-voltage wires, are different from ordinary household wires. Ordinary household wires are single-core copper wires with a certain degree of hardness, while automotive wires are multi-core flexible copper wires. Some of these flexible wires are as thin as hair, with several or even dozens of soft copper wires wrapped in plastic insulating tubes (polyvinyl chloride), making them flexible and not easily broken. 2. With the increase in automotive functions and the widespread application of electronic control technology, there are more and more electrical components and wires, making wiring harnesses thicker and heavier. Therefore, advanced vehicles have introduced CAN bus configurations, adopting multiplex transmission systems. Compared to traditional wiring harnesses, multiplex transmission devices significantly reduce the number of wires and connectors, making wiring simpler.
