When routing a wiring harness in an aircraft, engineers should pay attention to the proximity of the wires to hydraulic lines, mechanical cables and other parts.

When Boeing was founded 100 years ago, engineers were concerned about how to use wiring to brace wings. As aircraft became more complex, engineers turned their attention to solving numerous wire harness assembly challenges. Many of their innovative solutions have been chronicled in the pages of ASSEMBLY magazine.

SAE AS85049 Specification was established to standardize shield termination bands.

Peel-and-stick labels, heat-shrink tubing and plastic carriers are the most reliable ways to identify wires in harnesses and electrical panels.

Myriad factors influence how and why harness assemblers set up their shops.

Carbon nanotube wiring is light, strong and efficient in transmitting electrical current.
