Waterproof Wire Loom

Waterproof Harness Loom Cable is an electrical connection system specially designed for outdoor or humid environments. It is a combination of multi-strand wires, connectors, protective sheaths and other components to ensure the normal operation and safety of electrical systems in harsh environments. The "watertight" function of watertight harness cables usually relies on outer sheaths and sealing technologies with IP ratings (such as IP65, IP67, etc.) and are widely used in automobiles, ships, industrial equipment, agricultural machinery and other fields.

The design focus of watertight harness cables is waterproof, dustproof and wear-resistant, which can effectively protect the internal cables from moisture, dirt, corrosion and external physical damage, thereby ensuring the long-term stable operation of the circuit.

Waterproof Wire Loom

Material:

Wire material: Highly conductive copper wire, usually 22 AWG to 10 AWG specifications, to ensure excellent current transmission capacity.

Sheath material: PVC, PE, TPE, silicone and other materials, with the characteristics of water resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance and UV resistance.

Connector type: Common connectors are DT series, Deutsch connectors, waterproof plugs, and the number of plugging and unplugging times can reach more than 500 times.

Working temperature range: -40℃ to +125℃, suitable for a variety of environments.

Waterproof level: IP65, IP66, IP67 and other protection levels are optional to meet the needs of different environments.

Current carrying capacity: 10A to 100A are optional, suitable for different electrical systems.


Features:

Excellent waterproof performance: The biggest feature of watertight cable is its waterproof performance. The outer sheath is usually made of high-quality PVC, PE or TPE materials, which has excellent waterproof performance. According to the IP level (such as IP65, IP67), it can completely prevent water splashing, immersion and dust intrusion, and effectively protect the internal cable from the influence of the external environment.


High and low temperature resistance: Watertight cable can work stably in a wide temperature range, usually supporting a temperature range of -40℃ to +125℃, and can adapt to extreme high and low temperature environments. This makes it suitable for application requirements in extremely cold or high temperature areas.


Wear and corrosion resistance: The sheath material of the harness usually has extremely strong wear resistance and can maintain long-term stability in an environment with high friction. In addition, many watertight harness cables also have anti-ultraviolet (UV) protection to prevent aging and damage caused by sunlight.


Anti-oxidation and chemical corrosion resistance: The materials of watertight harnesses are usually resistant to chemical corrosion, especially suitable for environments in contact with chemicals, such as agricultural machinery, chemical plants, etc. Its anti-oxidation properties can effectively extend the service life.


High current carrying capacity: Watertight harnesses usually use multi-strand copper wires and are designed with different current carrying capacities as needed. It can support current carrying from 10A to 100A or higher to meet the needs of different electrical systems.


Highly customized: Watertight harness cables can be customized according to the specific needs of customers, including harness length, wire core specifications, plug type, sheath material, type of external connector, etc. Through customized design, it can perfectly adapt to different electrical systems and environments.


Advantages:

Protect electrical systems from external interference: Due to the addition of waterproof function, watertight harnesses can effectively prevent the intrusion of moisture and dirt, avoid short circuits, electrical failures and corrosion caused by moisture or dust, and ensure the normal operation of electrical systems. Many customers said that after using watertight wiring harnesses, the equipment failure rate was greatly reduced and the life of the equipment was significantly extended.


Adapt to various harsh environments: Watertight wiring harnesses have excellent cold and high temperature resistance, enabling them to work reliably in extremely cold, extremely hot and humid environments. For example, in the working environment of the Arctic region, the watertight wiring harness performs well, not only ensuring stable electrical connections, but also strong frost resistance, avoiding the risk of material brittleness in low temperature environments.


Improve equipment reliability and safety: The waterproof design greatly improves the reliability of electrical equipment and avoids safety issues such as fires caused by circuit failures. Data shows that after using waterproof wiring harnesses, the electrical failure rate of many industrial equipment has been reduced by more than 30%.


Reduce maintenance costs: Due to the superior protection provided by watertight wiring harnesses, the maintenance cost of equipment is significantly reduced. Many companies have reported that after using waterproof wiring harnesses, the number of equipment repairs has been reduced, the working cycle of the equipment has been extended, and the work efficiency and economic benefits have been significantly improved.


Enhanced physical protection of the wiring harness: The watertight wiring harness uses a tough outer sheath material that can resist daily friction, vibration and external impact, reducing the problem of wiring harness breakage or poor connection caused by external force damage. Especially in the application of mechanical equipment, the anti-seismic and impact resistance can effectively prevent the wiring harness from being damaged under harsh conditions.


Application:

Automobile and off-road vehicle lighting system

Watertight wiring harnesses are widely used in the lighting systems of automobiles, off-road vehicles, and trucks, especially in electrical equipment such as LED light bars, electric tailgates, and wipers. It ensures that the electrical connection of the vehicle will not fail due to the intrusion of moisture, mud, etc. in outdoor environments.


Agricultural and engineering machinery

Agricultural machinery (such as harvesters and tractors) and engineering machinery (such as excavators and bulldozers) often operate in wet, muddy or dusty environments. Watertight wiring harnesses can provide reliable electrical connections in such environments to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.


Ship and offshore equipment

Watertight wiring harnesses are particularly important in ships and offshore platforms. Its waterproof characteristics can effectively deal with the corrosion caused by seawater, moisture, salt spray, etc., and ensure the long-term stable operation of ship electrical equipment.


Outdoor lighting and security systems

In the electrical connections of outdoor lighting systems, security cameras and various sensors, the waterproofness and durability of watertight harnesses provide guarantees to ensure that the equipment can operate stably for a long time.


Industrial equipment

The electrical systems of industrial equipment, machine tools, and manufacturing lines often face complex working environments such as high humidity and high temperature. Watertight harnesses can provide effective protection, reduce equipment failure rates, and improve production efficiency.


FAQ:

What is the waterproof rating of Waterproof Harness Loom Cable?

The waterproof rating of Waterproof Harness Loom Cable can generally reach IP65, IP66 or IP67. IP65 means dustproof and can prevent low-pressure water jets, while IP67 can be immersed in water for a short time.


Is it suitable for high current loads?

Yes, watertight harnesses have good current carrying capacity and can support loads from 10A to 100A or higher. The specific load capacity depends on the harness specifications and design.


Can watertight harnesses withstand extreme temperatures?

Most watertight harnesses can operate in a temperature range of -40℃ to +125℃, and can cope with extreme cold and high temperature environments.


How to choose a suitable watertight harness?

When choosing a watertight harness, you need to choose it based on the application environment, load current, voltage level, and length of the harness. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the waterproof level and temperature resistance of the harness.


Is the installation of a watertight harness complicated?

The installation of a watertight harness is generally simple, usually a plug-and-play structure, equipped with standardized plugs and connectors, and users can connect and wire according to their needs. Most users do not need professional installation experience.
