Custom Crimped Wire Assemblies for OEM Projects
Cablum manufactures customer-specific wire assemblies with terminal crimping based on approved drawings, component requirements, and project specifications.
From initial drawing and BOM review through prototype and production support, the assembly scope is defined around the connection, routing, identification, and inspection requirements of each project.
DIRECT ANSWER
What Is a Custom Crimped Wire Assembly?
A custom crimped wire assembly connects prepared wires to specified terminals and, when required, connector housings or other project-defined components. Unlike an off-the-shelf lead, its wire lengths, branch arrangement, terminal orientation, labeling, protection, and acceptance requirements follow the OEM drawing or specification.
Cablum can include terminal crimping in custom wire-harness assembly. Specific terminal systems, wire sizes, materials, process limits, and test criteria are reviewed for the applicable project rather than assumed from a standard catalog configuration.
PROJECT INPUTS
Information That Defines the Assembly
Clear project inputs reduce quotation ambiguity and help align the assembly with the intended connection and installation.
Wire and terminal definition
Identify the customer-specified wire, terminal, connector housing, cavity position, strip length, and any approved component references. Availability and substitutions remain subject to project review.
Length and orientation
Show cut length, finished length, terminal orientation, breakout locations, routing constraints, and reference points in the drawing.
Protection and identification
State any project-defined heat-shrink, sleeving, labeling, bundling, or packaging requirements without relying on unmarked assumptions.
Inspection and acceptance
Define applicable visual, electrical, dimensional, or other acceptance requirements in the customer specification. Methods, limits, reports, and coverage are confirmed for the project.
FROM REQUIREMENT TO ASSEMBLY
A Project-Defined Manufacturing Path
1. Drawing and BOM review
Cablum reviews customer drawings, specifications, approved requirements, and the customer BOM as part of project evaluation.
2. Prototype support
Prototype support can be provided based on project requirements. Sample references may also be reviewed where applicable.
3. Assembly to approved requirements
Wire cutting, stripping, terminal crimping, labeling, sleeving, or heat-shrink application can be included where specified for the custom assembly.
4. Project-defined quality checks
Cablum applies quality control during manufacturing. Visual inspection and electrical checks may be used according to the applicable customer-approved requirements.
