Wire Harness

ACME PCB Assembly Wire and Cable Harness Services

It is important to understand that a wire harness is different than a cable harness.  A wire is a single conductor, while cables are two or more wires that are insulated being wrapped in a larger jacket. These two technologies demand their own set of unique tools, fixtures, and machinery to help reduce production costs. Knowing exactly what type of product being used is crucial to perfectly create your designs.

Wire harnesses generally do not need much to work with and is generally an inexpensive and cost-efficient way for many people to solve their electrical needs. With a single machine, one can increase their production capabilities because of the relative simplicity of wires in general.

A wire harness is a method that incorporates several point-to-point cable assemblies together into one conclusive assembly.  They are generally held together using cable ties or some form of protective sleeve used to protect the wires or cables from environmental conditions like moisture, heat or friction, and to organize the different breakouts for easy routing through a system or box build.

What Can Wire Harnesses be Used For?

Though you might confuse a wire harness for a cable assembly, there is one main difference and that is a wire harnesses usually contains several ends or breakouts, running in different directions, serving multiple functions with multiple terminations on each breakout.

A custom wire harness can be used in durable goods like household appliances, in and around engines of all kinds – automobiles, buses, locomotives, trucks, and even planes.  Electronic equipment, construction machinery, industrial equipment, HVAC products all use wire harnesses as well.

Located in Carson, California, ACME PCB Assembly utilizes top of the line technology from Schleuniger to perfectly cut, strip, and process any wire or cable you need.

Cable Harnesses (Wire harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly) is an assembly of electrical cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical power. Cable harnesses are different from wire harnesses and it is important to understand the difference. A wire is a single conductor, while cables are two or more wires that are insulated being wrapped in a larger jacket. These two technologies demand their own set of unique tools, fixtures, and machinery to help reduce production costs. Knowing exactly what type of product being used is crucial to perfectly create your designs.

·         Wire harnesses generally do not need much to work with and is generally an inexpensive and cost-efficient way for many people to solve their electrical needs. With a single machine, one can increase their production capabilities because of the relative simplicity of wires in general.

·         Cable harnesses are more complex in nature and may require different machinery and tools to be consistent with production. Creating slits and windows in cables demand specialized equipment to handle the various conductors within the insulation

Both technologies are held to the standards like IPC WHMA-A-620 and should be evaluated by their designated class level.

The Role of PCBs in Medical Device Manufacturing

Printed Circuit Board FabricationIn the world of medical device manufacturing, precision and reliability are essential. PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) are at the heart of many medical devices, playing a critical role in their functionality, safety, and performance. The integration of PCBs in medical devices is not just about providing a foundation for electrical components but ensuring the device can perform consistently in life-saving scenarios.

The use of PCBs in medical device manufacturing ensures compactness and efficiency. As devices like pacemakers, defibrillators, and diagnostic machines shrink in size, the need for smaller, more efficient PCBs becomes more vital. These compact PCBs allow for the integration of multiple functions in a limited space, making it possible to create devices that are both lightweight and portable, which is essential in many modern medical applications.

One of the key factors in the role of PCBs in medical device manufacturing is their customization. Each medical device has unique requirements, and PCBs must be tailored to meet those specific needs. Whether it’s in imaging devices like MRI machines or portable glucose monitors, the design of the PCB impacts the overall performance, ensuring the device operates accurately under various conditions.

The reliability of PCBs in medical devices cannot be overstated. Any malfunction in a PCB can lead to significant risks, which is why the manufacturing process of PCBs used in medical applications follows strict guidelines and standards. These include stringent quality control measures to ensure that every PCB performs as expected, withstanding the challenges presented by both regular use and harsh medical environments.

Moreover, the materials used in PCBs for medical devices are chosen carefully to comply with safety regulations and prevent contamination. For instance, many medical PCBs must be resistant to sterilization processes, such as autoclaving, or be safe for use in environments with high electromagnetic interference. This adds another layer of complexity to their design and manufacturing, highlighting the importance of partnering with a trusted PCB fabrication provider like Board Assembly.

In addition to their durability, PCBs used in medical devices must be highly reliable in transmitting data. As medical devices increasingly rely on digital technology for monitoring, diagnosing, and treating patients, the role of the PCB is integral in ensuring smooth data transmission, whether through sensors, processors, or communication modules.

PCB Fabrication and AssemblyThe role of PCBs in medical device manufacturing is expanding as the industry moves towards more technologically advanced solutions. The trend towards miniaturization, combined with the need for enhanced performance and reliability, continues to drive innovations in PCB design and fabrication. As a result, medical devices are becoming more accurate, efficient, and capable of delivering life-saving care with even greater precision.

Ultimately, PCBs are at the core of the medical devices we depend on today, driving innovations in healthcare and playing a crucial role in the advancement of medical technology.
