Wire Harness/Connectors Assembly

Subteam: ElectricalSubsystem: Electrical HarnessAssembly: Wire Harness/Connectors AssemblyCars: CR21, CR22, CR25, CR26I, CR26E

Purpose

Assembly line covering all vehicle wiring harnesses and connectors.

Function

Groups the ECU, dash, power and controls, battery and fuel rail harnesses with their connectors and heat shrink.

Design Process

No part-specific design process is documented. The Electrical Harness subsystem design process applies: 1. Collect the sensor list and the datalogger assignment for each sensor. 2. Draw the harness in RapidHarness: main connectors, sensor connectors, connections, then bundles and split points. 3. Order wire early. BMRSWired lead time has run 2 weeks to 3 months and is the single highest-impact long lead item. 4. Cut and crimp terminals, assemble connectors, build service loops. 5. Twist the harness, cover with DR-25 heat shrink, test fit on the frame, then install and recover transition boots and connector boots.

Manufacturing Process

Designed in RapidHarness, then cut, crimped, assembled with service loops, twisted, covered in DR-25 and test fitted on the frame before boots are installed.

Full Material List

M22759 tinned copper wire with Tefzel insulation, Raychem DR-25 heat shrink, Deutsch DTM/DT connectors, RT125 epoxy, Kevlar binder.
