Preparation before installation:
Comprehensively check the appearance of the cable and look carefully for defects such as breakage, scratches, flaking insulation, loose strands or oxidised copper wires. Pay special attention to check whether the sealing at both ends of the cable is intact, if there is any problem, stop using it immediately and contact the supplier for replacement to ensure that the quality of the cable used is intact and meets safety standards.
According to the specific needs of the vehicle's electrical equipment and in conjunction with the actual wiring plan, accurately determine the AWG specifications and colours of the cables required, and prepare the appropriate installation tools such as wire strippers, crimpers, electrical knives, insulating tape, heat-shrinkable tubing, soldering tools (if applicable), and so on. Ensure the precision and applicability of the tools, and keep them clean and sharp to avoid unnecessary damage to the cables during operation, affecting their electrical performance and service life.
Wiring and Connections:
When wiring inside the vehicle, be sure to follow the wiring specifications and safety principles of the automotive electrical system, avoid direct contact between the cable and sharp objects, high-temperature parts (e.g., engine exhaust, radiator, etc.), moving parts (e.g., fan blades, belt pulleys, etc.), and prevent the cable from being scratched, scalded, abraded, or damaged as a result of being subjected to mechanical stress, so as to ensure that the internal structure of the cable is not damaged and that it maintains its good electrical performance .
When connecting cables to electrical equipment, first use wire strippers to carefully strip the insulation from the end of the cable, then insert the copper wire into the connecting terminal and firmly press it using crimping pliers to ensure a tight, reliable and good contact to avoid loose and false connections that could lead to electrical failures. If welding connection is involved, suitable solder and welding process should be used to ensure that the solder joints are firm, smooth, no false welding, and after the completion of the welding of the solder joints for proper insulation to prevent short-circuit and leakage accidents.
In the wiring process, make full use of the cable's colour marking function, according to the pre-planned wiring scheme, the different colours of the cable neatly and orderly arranged in the interior of the car, and do a good job of the corresponding line marking and fixing, to ensure that the line is clear, easy to identify and manage, to avoid confusion and cross-tangled situation. For longer cable lines, if they need to be spliced or extended, reliable quality terminals or connectors should be used and connected in strict accordance with their operating instructions, to ensure that the electrical properties and mechanical strength of the connection meet the requirements, and at the same time do a good job of insulation and protective measures to prevent moisture, dust and other impurities from entering the connection parts to affect the electrical properties.
