Why on earth should a wire harness designer understand APIs? In a nutshell, they empower you to streamline the design process, reduce errors, and optimize workflows, ultimately leading to the creation of high-quality wire harnesses. The more you know, the better. APIs – Application Programming Interfaces – are critical features in wire harness design software. […]
Think of the numerous electrical and mechanical components involved in wire harness design. Choosing the right connectors, wires, cables, terminals, and more takes more time than you might think. You have to consider factors such as voltage ratings, current capacity, form factors, environmental conditions, and compatibility with other parts when selecting from component databases. Getting […]

If you’re reading this, then you’re already intrigued by how ECAD best practices can help you design a wire harness more efficiently and accurately. Transitioning from manual wire harness design to using electronic CAD software is a rewarding journey, but that doesn’t mean you’re not nervous about it. Even if you know it will improve […]
You might have already tried free electrical drawing software, and that’s why you’re here. Basic features offer some value, but the electrical drawing software you use determines the efficiency, reliability, accuracy, and ultimately, the success of your designs. You need something more advanced. To make your choice easier, we’ve put together 5 key factors to […]
Consider exactly what wire-harness solutions are: comprehensive systems that integrate electrical wires, cables, connectors, and other components into structured assemblies. They have to provide reliable and organized means of transmitting electrical signals and power in various applications. It’s complicated, in other words. If you’re working manually, the complexity only heightens, along with the costs. Working […]
Of all the types of electrical drawings, schematic diagrams are the most helpful for troubleshooting. A wiring diagram maker can give you the relative layout of the circuit components, and you can use symbols and components. But the wiring drawing by itself isn’t particularly easy for understanding circuit operation or troubleshooting. This is where a […]
ECAD and MCAD: Which to use and how to use them together When it comes to wire harness design, there are two primary types of software: Electronic Computer-Aided Design (ECAD) and Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (MCAD). These are essentially two different approaches to designing wire harnesses. ECAD software concentrates on designing the electrical components of a […]
