Automotive Wiring Harness Assembly: Intermediate combines many different practical and visual skills with knowledge of specialized materials and techniques. Wiring harnesses consist of various wires bundled together, with each individual wire responsible for carrying the electric signals and energy used in starting the engine, lights, meters, navigation systems, power windows and doors, and other devices in the vehicle. This book will introduce the knowledge and skills for those studying and/or working in automotive manufacturing industry.
About the Book
The information in this book consists of competencies that a person must achieve to select and classify materials and parts for assembly of wiring harness; perform cutting and stripping of electrical wires; perform crimping and soldering of terminals and perform tying, taping and finishing of assembly wires.
About the Automotive Industry
Automotive industry, all those companies and activities involved in the manufacture of motor vehicles, including most components, such as engines and bodies, but excluding tires, batteries, and fuel. The industry’s principal products are passenger automobiles and light trucks, including pickups, vans, and sport utility vehicles. Commercial vehicles (i.e., delivery trucks and large transport trucks, often called semis), though important to the industry, are secondary. The design of modern automotive vehicles is discussed in the articles automobile, truck, bus, and motorcycle; automotive engines are described in gasoline engine and diesel engine. The automotive industry offers some of the most exciting and rewarding career opportunities an engineer could wish for. From motorsport to mass manufacturing. From lightweight materials to fuel cells. Automotive engineers use the most advanced technologies on earth to create products that inspire the senses and bring personal mobility to the world. Automotive engineers design, test and develop vehicles and / or components & systems from the concept stage through to production. They are also involved in improving the vehicle in response to customer feedback once on the market. Specializing in areas such as aerodynamics, alternative fuels, chassis, electronics, emissions, ergonomics, manufacturing, materials, motorsport, powertrain, rapid prototyping, vehicle and pedestrian safety or supply chain management - they use both traditional methods and state-of-the-art technology to engineer vehicles to high standards of performance, safety & reliability.
