FAQ
- Q: What industries can Cactus Electronics provide custom wire harness services for?
- A: With extensive experience, we are capable of offering customized wire harness solutions for multiple industries, including automotive, industrial machinery, medical equipment, aerospace, and more. Whether it’s the intricate internal wiring of automobiles or wire harnesses for medical devices that demand extremely high reliability, we can precisely meet the requirements. For instance, in the automotive industry, we supply wire harnesses suitable for various vehicle models to numerous automakers, ensuring efficient and stable power distribution and signal transmission.
- Q: What is the design process for custom wire harnesses?
- A: The customization process begins with our engineering team having in – depth communication with you to fully understand project goals, technical specifications, application scenarios, and environmental conditions. Subsequently, a feasibility study is conducted to assess the practical feasibility of the project and determine the optimal material selection. Engineers will use CAD software to create detailed schematics, 3D models, and project plans, including design schematics, bills of materials (BOM), cable lists, and assembly instructions. During this period, simulation tools will also be used for virtual testing to optimize performance and identify potential issues. Finally, physical prototypes are produced for your review and approval to ensure that the design fully meets your expectations.
- Q: How do you ensure the quality of custom wire harnesses?
- A: Quality is our top priority. We start by strictly controlling raw material procurement. All raw materials comply with ROHS standards and undergo rigorous inspection before warehousing. During the manufacturing process, we adhere to IPC 620 specifications and conduct real – time monitoring and inspection of key aspects such as soldering temperature, wire stripping size, crimping pressure, and insulation layer laying. After production is completed, a series of strict tests, including continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, high – voltage (withstand voltage) testing, functional testing, and environmental testing, are carried out to ensure that the wire harness can operate stably and reliably under various conditions. In addition, we have obtained ISO 9001 quality management system certification, and the entire production process is carried out in strict accordance with the requirements of the system.
- Q: Can I customize wire harnesses if I don’t have detailed design drawings?
- A: Absolutely. Even without detailed drawings, our professional engineering team can provide one – stop services from concept design to detailed drawing creation based on your descriptions of the application scenarios, performance requirements, and other aspects. We will communicate fully with you to transform your ideas into practical wire harness design solutions.
- Q: What is the delivery cycle for custom wire harnesses?
- A: The delivery cycle varies depending on the complexity of the order, quantity, and raw material supply. Generally, we will confirm the specific delivery time with you within 2 working days after receiving the order. For regular orders, our delivery cycle is usually 4 weeks. During the order execution process, we will follow up on the progress in real – time and provide you with timely feedback to ensure on – time delivery.
- Q: How is the price of custom wire harnesses determined?
- A: The price is mainly determined by factors such as the complexity of the wire harness, materials used, and order quantity. Complex designs, high – end materials, and small – batch orders usually have higher costs. We will conduct a detailed cost accounting based on your specific requirements and provide you with a transparent and reasonable quotation. At the same time, we have established long – term and stable cooperative relationships with many suppliers, enabling us to offer competitive prices through optimizing procurement channels and production processes.
- Q: Does Cactus Electronics accept rush orders?
- A: We understand that customers may sometimes face urgent needs. Therefore, we accept rush orders when production capacity permits. When we receive a request for a rush order, we will quickly assess the project situation, adjust the production plan, and prioritize resource allocation to do our best to meet your urgent delivery requirements. However, additional fees may be incurred for rush orders, and the specific fees will be communicated with you when confirming the order.
- Q: How do you solve quality problems with custom wire harnesses?
- A: If you find quality problems with the wire harness during use, please contact us immediately. Our after – sales team will respond promptly and fully understand the problem. For products with confirmed quality issues, we will provide free repair and replacement services. We will also conduct an in – depth analysis of the problem, identify the cause, and take improvement measures to prevent similar problems from occurring again.
- Q: Can you provide samples of custom wire harnesses? How much does it cost?
- A: We can provide samples. The sample cost will be calculated based on the complexity of the wire harness and material costs. After you confirm the sample order, we will arrange production as soon as possible and generally complete sample production and delivery within 7 working days.
- Q: What environmental protection measures does Cactus Electronics take?
- A: We attach great importance to environmental protection and actively promote the concept of green production. In terms of raw material selection, we give priority to environmentally friendly materials, and all raw materials comply with ROHS environmental protection standards. During the production process, we reduce energy consumption and waste emissions by optimizing the process flow. For example, we regularly maintain and upgrade production equipment to improve energy utilization efficiency; we classify, recycle, and process the waste generated during production to ensure the rational use of resources.
