This has to be transformed into a specific, three-dimensional shape using, for example, formers, protector brackets and tape. In contrast a pre-formed wiring harness is produced in a stable, three-dimensional form using specially formulated coating materials. This technique protects the harness against dirt, fluids, extreme temperatures, vibration and physical damage.
The pre-formed harness enables the harness to be routed around complex shapes e.g. engines, gearboxes and axles. Geometric flexibility is built in to assist product handling and installation.
