Our engineering staff reviews and prepares designs for manufacturing (DFM) by analyzing the layout, material procurement, and manufacturability.
Introduction →
Wires are necessary for electronic assemblies, linking subsystems and allowing easy interface with peripherals through interconnect standards. The intricate nature of printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) production means there are several possible failure points – testing is crucial to determine the correctness and completeness of a design. More than just keeping the wiring system of an electronic system organized, a wire harness assembly simplifies the analysis and troubleshooting of the device. At VSE, we understand the need for precision electronic interconnectivity; for over forty years, we have built PCBAs and wire harness assemblies that marry the discrete sub-products to ensure performance and service life longevity.
| PCBA Box Build Production | |
|---|---|
| Design | Board layout maintains design intent and maximizes performance with product constraints (size, weight, etc.) |
| Board Fabrication | The bare board materials are processed to produce all PCBA features (copper placement, drilled holes, cutouts, etc.) |
| Board Assembly | The bare board is populated with the components that will provide the circuit function and features. |
| Enclosure Design | The enclosure will provide a safe handling method for interacting with the electronic system. |
| Cable Assembly | Cable assembly will bundle groups of wires in a sheath to improve ruggedness, provide extra shielding for twisted pair wires, etc. |
| Wire Harness Assembly | The wire harness will connect the sub-systems of the design with a wiring system that offers both flexibility and testability. |
Wire Harness Assembly From an Experienced Electronics Manufacturer
Manufacturing a PCBA requires tremendous precision, and modern systems of even moderate complexity require multiple boards working together. The system is a design milestone independent of the individual sub-products, as the PCBAs and other hardware must all fit and interface within a well-designed enclosure. Despite this critical role, the wire assembly can sometimes be the last part of the system developed. At VSE, electronics manufacturing is part of our DNA – we view a PCBA as a comprehensive and continuous manufacturing process:
Our manufacturing team is skilled at creating interconnects that support electronic functionality with a neat and orderly fit. The connections meet the rigors of field usage while offering a desired level of flexibility.
Our engineering and manufacturing teams have been collaborating to produce cutting-edge electronic devices for over forty years. Our customers need a wire harness as robust as the PCBAs it connects.
An electronics assembly is as good as its weakest link. From continuity testing to marginal crimps and contacts that aren’t fully seated with mating connections, we examine every wire assembly for completeness and quality.

Wire Harnesses Built Alongside PCBAs, Not As an Afterthought
We’ve cultivated our reputation and business with suppliers at every stage of PCBA manufacturing to benefit our customers by bundling the procurement and production for all of the project’s sub-products. The combined printed circuit board assemblies, the box build of the system enclosure, and the wire harnesses remain under one roof. Design teams won’t have to worry about staging production across multiple sites and manufacturers, so turnaround times remain minimal on time-sensitive jobs. There are additional benefits to realize by including a wire assembly built in tandem with the rest of the electronic system:
1
Support connected PCBAs
The design and manufacture of the PCBA(s) within the box build contribute to seamless, continuous production. Wire harness assembly will take advantage of this DFM process by being actively considered during board layout to maximize the PCBA’s performance.
2
A one-stop component shop
For turnkey manufacturing solutions or a more à la carte approach, our component selection process keeps design budgetary constraints in mind. High-volume productions can also benefit from reserving a dedicated production space for ongoing manufacturing.
