Common mistakes in assembling cables

-
The assembly process of the cable must be carried out with great care, as any defects in the production assembly process can cause an overall failure of the product, resulting in an accident. Although manufacturers are aware of the seriousness, they still make some common mistakes when producing assembled cables. Below is a list of six common mistakes that cable manufacturers have in the assembly process of electronic cables.
​Common mistakes in assembling cables
Prepare the wire
Preparing the wires must be performed with care and precision, as it determines the overall efficiency and performance of the components. Many manufacturers have made mistakes in this first phase, chose the wrong wires, and finally need to cut the plug and then use the plug to connect the correct wires.
Do not follow the assembly drawing
Failure to follow the assembly drawing can cause problems in connecting the wires in the chassis. Cable manufacturers often incorrectly connect the wires, which can cause the wire assembly to fail, resulting in failure of the entire system. The assembly drawing must be strictly followed to avoid such error.
Defects in crimping
The crimping process involves terminating the cable in the cable, which is the most critical step in the cable assembly and can result in an open or short circuit if not properly performed. If the manufacturer does this at will, it is easy to cause product failure.
Incorrect welding
Incorrect soldering is another manufacturing process that many manufacturers make mistakes,which can cause thermal damage. When doing this, use the correct soldering equipment and the correct soldering temperature.
Missing wires and using the wrong hardware
To meet project schedules, some cable manufacturers may tend to ignore wires that are critical in assembly. This can lead to failure of the cable assembly and, in addition, the manufacturer may use the wrong hardware, including brackets, clamps, washers or screws to assemble the cable.
Incorrect wire connection
The final step in the cable assembly process is to bundle the wires with plastic straps. Sometimes the cable manufacturer tightens the package too much to damage the wires. On the other hand, if it is loose, it may not be able to hold the bundle correctly, so the manufacturer must ensure that the tie is fastened around the wire in the correct manner.

  SAE J1939 (hereinafter referred to as J1939) is the recommended standard of the American Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). It is controlled and communicated by the "Truck and Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee" (Track & Bus Electrical & Electronics Committee). Developed and written by the Track & Bus Control and Communications Network Subcommittee. J1939 has become a recognized industry standard and choice for commercial vehicle diagnostics and data communication heavy, off-highway, truck, bus, ship propulsion, power generation, industrial pumping, construction, and material handling machinery. J1939 is a high-level protocol network (CAN) based on Controller Area. It is widely used by the diesel engine industry to provide diagnostic data such as vehicle engine speed, temperature, oil temperature, exhaust emissions, and other customizable options. J1939 connectors are divided into black and green rubber cores, but do you know the difference between t...

Benefits of overmolded connectors and wiring harnesses?

What is overmolding? In short, overmolding is an injection molding process in which two or more materials are used to combine a harness wire and a connector to form a single part, and the cable assembly is placed in a mold. In this process, the first material substrate will be covered by other materials. The overmolding process requires the use of insert molding (single injection) or multiple injection molding techniques to cover rigid plastic parts with TPU layers or other overmolding materials. So what are the benefits of the connector and harness overmolding process? Benefits of overmolding connectors and harnesses: 1. Increase the flexibility of the cable harness exit so that most of the movement between the cable harness and the connector occurs at the cable harness exit. 2. Provide abrasion resistance, impact resistance or impact resistance. 3. Fix the cable assembly by sealing the assembly in plastic. 4. Provide 360 degree strain relief and increase tension. 5. Cr...

​Cars are equipped with diagnostics tool or obd-ii ports

Modern cars have the capacity of a few computers, are tooled with software that contains millions of lines of programming code and produce gigabytes of data, but they are still different from connected cars. ​ A smart vehicle is able to optimize its performance to reduce fuel consumption, show the best path to follow taking into account current traffic and weather conditions, detect errors in the engine and collect information data to negotiate lower insurance rates. Most cars and light trucks are equipped with on-board diagnostics or an OBD II port that provides access to data from the engine control unit (ECU). To get the information you need to plug in an external device. The OBD-II specifications provide a standardized hardware interface - a female 16-pin (2x8) J1962 connector, so a single external device can be used for most car models. It also should have an Internet connection to transfer the collected data. OBD-II connects to the Internet, and generally needs to use th...
