Wiring Systems
Wiring Harnesses
In line with the increase in the number of wire harness circuits used, reecting the growing presence of electronic technologies in automobiles, we have reduced wire sizes and weight, bolstered productivity and incorporated environmental considerations and recycling.
Connectors
Utilizing on the materials technologies of the Furukawa Electric Group on metallic materials, plating, etc., we have reduced the size and improved reliability.
Automotive Alminum Wire Harnesses
The lighter weight of cars is a key factor for fuel economy and safety performance. The weight of a wire harness is in the region of 20 to 50 kilograms per car. Lightening the weight of a car is an essential factor in improving fuel economy and extending the driving range of electric vehicles. The wire harness weight is an important factor in overall performance. By switching from copper to aluminum wiring, we have been able to reduce the weight by 10 to 40%
Bus Harness
BUS harnesses are harnesses made by pressure welding multiple PCB built in connectors (smart connectors) to 3-circuit ribbon wire. Furukawa Electric Group has realized reductions in wiring and weight by suppressing the number of servo motors that move doors for air outlet switching or inside air / outside air switching, etc., in air conditioners using smart connectors based on multiplex communication.
