  • Patent number: 6650956
    Abstract: A checking method is described for a wiring harness having first sub-harnesses and second sub-harnesses in which the first sub-harness has a first press-fit terminal joined to each end of a first electrical cable, and the first sub-harness has a first isolator holding the first press-fit terminal and the second sub-harness has a second press-fit terminal, a crimp terminal, a connector housing for accommodating the crimp terminal, a second isolator supporting the second press-fit terminal and wherein a second electrical cable connects the second press fit terminal and the crimp terminal at opposite ends. The checking method, which is effective upon layering of the first and second isolators includes the conduct of decision steps for determining acceptance or rejection of the individual sub-harnesses after assembly thereof and a final decision step for determining acceptance or rejection of the completed wiring harness layering following of the isolators of the first and second sub-harness.

  • Publication number: 20010025206
    Abstract: The wiring harness has a plurality of first sub-harnesses and a plurality of second sub-harnesses. The first sub-harness has a first press-fit terminal joined to each end of a first electrical cable, and the first sub-harness has a first isolator holding the first press-fit terminal. The second sub-harness has a second press-fit terminal, a crimp terminal, a connector housing for accommodating the crimp terminal, and a second isolator supporting the second press-fit terminal. The second press-fit terminal is connected to one end of a second electrical cable, and the crimp terminal is connected to the other end of the second electrical cable. The press-fit terminals held by different ones of the isolators can be connected to one another when any of the first and second isolators are layered.
