Advanced Crimping Solutions for Large Wire Applications
Gain insights into the challenges wire harness manufacturers must understand to deliver quality high-voltage connections, plus a look into the future tooling needs of the automotive industry, advanced controls and monitoring.
Government emission standards have led to the rapid growth of EVs, HEVs and PHEVs which, in turn, has led to a rapid increase in the use of large gauge wires and cables. Harness manufacturers must take care to provide quality connections in the harsh environments where these cables and terminations perform. This white paper dives into the current challenges involved in preparing and terminating both copper and aluminum stranded high-voltage cables, specifically for the electric vehicle (EV) market. It also addresses new advancements in tooling needed to prepare and crimp large diameter cable. Submit the form on the right to download your copy.
