Wire harnesses are made based on specific requirements and industry standards, owing to their range of applications. To cater to a diverse market, which includes the automotive, communications, medical, home appliances, computer and peripherals, industrial and military sectors, manufacturers ensure specifications are met to the letter.

Chinese companies follow buyers’ requests for plug types, and cable materials, lengths and colors, making sure the final output is highly stable and reliable, will last long and is lightweight. They offer mostly wire harnesses that accept 22 to 34AWG wires, have plugs from known brands, including Tyco, Delphi, Molex, JST, AMP and JAE, and are available in water-resistant versions. In recent years, manufacturers have been releasing high-voltage wire harnesses for electric vehicles.

Generally, China-made cable harnesses have UL, CE, TÜV, BS and GB approvals as well RoHS compliance. Automotive-use types, meanwhile, must conform to SAE, DIN and JIS standards. For companies catering to the medical equipment sector, having an ISO 13485 certification is a must.

Suppliers source copper, bronze, aluminum, tin, PVC, PU, PE, rubber and nylon from domestic or foreign providers, depending on customers’ preferences. Despite the increase in copper prices in the past 12 months, the majority kept their product prices unchanged to remain competitive. Many are counting on stable material costs in the coming months.
