Wire Harnesses

PICA Manufacturing Solutions delivers precision-engineered wire harnesses designed to simplify complex electronic interconnections and ensure dependable performance. Our wire harness manufacturing capabilities cover everything from simple point-to-point assemblies to intricate multi-branch harnesses, integrating a variety of wire gauges, connector types, protective sleeving, and strain relief solutions. By consolidating multiple wires into a single organized harness, we help you reduce assembly time, minimize errors, and streamline your production workflow.

Our wire harness solutions are built with quality, consistency, and flexibility in mind. From prototype builds to high-volume production, PICA leverages automated cutting, stripping, crimping, and testing to deliver reliable, repeatable results for even the most demanding applications. Whether you need shielded, molded, or custom-labeled harnesses, our experienced team can support unique configurations while meeting rigorous electrical and mechanical requirements. Trust PICA to deliver wire harness assemblies that keep your systems connected and performing reliably.

Benefits

Simplified Installation: They are pre-assembled which simplifies the installation process saving time during equipment assembly and manufacturing.

Improved Reliability: By eliminating loose wires and connections, wire harnesses reduce the risk of electrical shocks, open circuits and other issues leading to improved overall system reliability.

Space and Weight Savings: Bundling wires together helps optimize space utilization, reduces clutter, and minimizes the overall weight of the system or vehicle.

Enhanced Protection: Wire harnesses are often encased in protective sheaths or tubing providing protection against environmental factors like abrasion, moisture, and chemicals.

Standardization and Quality: The use of wire harnesses allows for standardized manufacturing processes, leading to consistent quality and performance of electrical systems.

Improved Signal Integrity: Proper bundling and shielding of wires within a harness minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk, leading to improved signal integrity.

Easier Maintenance: When repairs or replacements are necessary, wire harnesses simplify the process since the connections are well organized and labeled.

Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial setup and design of wire harnesses may require investment, in the long run, they can lead to cost savings due to reduced labor time, improved reliability, and easier maintenance.

Applications

Automotive: Wire harnesses are extensively used in the automotive industry to connect various electrical and electronic components in vehicles, such as engine and transmission systems, infotainment systems, lights, sensors and more.

Aerospace: In aircraft and aerospace applications, wire harnesses play a crucial role in connecting avionic systems, navigation systems, communications systems, and various other electrical equipment.

Electronics: Wire harnesses are employed in consumer electronics, industrial machinery, and computer systems to establish connections between different components and to ensure efficient signal transmission.

Medical: Wire harnesses are used to interconnect different sensors, monitors, and devices with medical devices and diagnostic equipment.

Industrial: Wire harnesses are used in industrial automation and machinery to establish connections between control panels, motors, sensors, and other components.
