What Are Prototype Wire Harness Services?
Prototype wire harness services are specialized manufacturing capabilities designed to produce small quantities of custom cable assemblies for design validation, testing, and certification before committing to full-scale production.
What You Get
- Production-quality wire harness samples (1-50 units) manufactured to your exact specifications
- Functional testing of mechanical fit, electrical performance, and connector compatibility
- Design validation before investing $5,000-$50,000 in production tooling and inventory
- Manufacturing feasibility assessment and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) recommendations
Why It Matters
- Catch design errors that would cost 10-50x more to fix after production tooling is complete
- Reduce time-to-market by 4-8 weeks through parallel testing while production tooling is prepared
- Present functional prototypes to clients, investors, or certification bodies for approval
- Experiment with alternative connector brands or wire specifications without production-scale risk
Our Specialization
We manufacture prototype wire harnesses for complex, high-value applications only. Our sweet spot is assemblies with 10-240 conductors, multiple connector types, custom routing, shielding requirements, and specialized materials. We do NOT manufacture simple commodity cables like HDMI, USB, or basic patch cords—our expertise and equipment are optimized for assemblies where quality, precision, and engineering matter.
Why Choose Prototype Wire Harnesses for Your Project?
Investing in prototype wire harness manufacturing de-risks your product development, accelerates time-to-market, and saves significant costs compared to jumping straight to production.
