InterConnect Wiring Profile

InterConnect is starting a series of blogs to discuss different aspects of aircraft electrical wiring harnesses. InterConnect will provide definitions, descriptions, and photos of not only common parts used to manufacture wiring harnesses but also discussions of how to design wiring harnesses as well as lessons learned when designing wiring harnesses. Today’s blog is “What is a wiring harness?”. Learn more about this here: https://www.interconnect-wiring.com/blog/what-is-a-wiring-harness/.

A common question asked of InterConnect Wiring is, “Can InterConnect repair or overhaul a wiring harnesses?” The short answer to this question is “Yes we can!” The long answer is that in many cases it is less expensive to produce a new wiring harness instead of repairing or overhauling an old one.

A system wiring diagram is exactly what it sounds like – a diagram of the wiring required for a system. It forms the starting point for harness design because it contains the signal paths and at least some information about the wire types (such as wire gauge) necessary to electrically connect components in the aircraft.
