The Ultimate Guide to Custom Automotive Wiring Harness Selection explores how to properly choose connectors that improve vehicle safety, electrical performance, and system reliability.

Key takeaways include:

• Connector Types: Wire-to-wire, board-to-wire, and sensor-specific device connectors.

• Selection Factors: Consider voltage, current, wire size, and IP ratings to resist dust, water, and extreme temperatures.

• Materials: Use PBT, nylon, PTFE, or metal shells for resistance to heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress.

• Mechanical Design: Secure locking mechanisms, strain relief, and overmolded seals enhance reliability.

• Maintenance Tips: Inspect connectors twice a year and avoid reusing old ones to prevent corrosion or short circuits.

In every custom wiring harness project, CTE collaborates closely with customers to design compliant and compatible harnesses, terminals, and connectors. Our goal is to help automotive manufacturers enhance system performance, extend product lifespan, and ensure quality and safety throughout.
