How Cable and Wire Harnesses are Used in Manufacturing
Take a look at just about any electrical device and chances are, there’s a wire harness or cable assembly somewhere inside. These units are used to organize, combine and protect the wires and cables that conduct electricity, making the devices operate as they are designed to do. While we use devices that employ the use of wire harnesses and cable assemblies every day, we don’t tend to think about them—in fact, many consumers may not even know what a wire harness or a cable assembly is! But they are an integral part of electronic device design, and a key component Read More
What is the Difference Between an Electronic Enclosure and a Box Build?
If you’re confused about what an electronic enclosure is and how it differs from a box build assembly, you’re not alone! Let’s take a look at both terms, what they mean and how they are similar to, and different from one another. Electronic Enclosure An electronic enclosure is a structure that is designed to protect electronic components like switches, relays, printed circuit boards (PCBs), power supplies, integrated circuits, processors and more. Electronic enclosures can be made from sheet metal, die-cast aluminum, plastic, fiberglass and other materials depending on the use case of the assembly. Also, depending on the use and Read More
Does My Electrical Enclosure Need to Be Vented?
Whether you are talking about something as simple as a window on a house or car or something more complex, like an air conditioning system, ventilation plays a role in our everyday lives. Proper ventilation is not only a must for providing extra comfort, but it also can be a critical safety measure. The same holds true for many electronic and electrical device enclosures, which often need to be designed with vents by electronic enclosure manufacturers to mitigate the effects of the significant heat that these devices can generate. If you’re not certain whether you need an electrical enclosure with Read More
Why Do I Need a Wiring Harness?
