Precision Cable Assemblies (PCA), (a global manufacturer in wire harnesses, cable manufacturing, and custom product solutions), is thrilled to announce the completion of its new facility in Monterrey, Mexico. This strategic expansion comes in response to PCA’s growth and the need for enhanced production capabilities.
In the 30 years since it was founded, PCA Precision Cable Assemblies has undergone a lot of changes. They started with manufacturing battery cables and ground straps in 1980. Then they added production of wire harness designs in 1994.
As they’ve continued to evolve, PCA has had an eye on logistics and quick response times for clients. In today’s business climate, uncertain government mandates—surrounding the pandemic—are a certainty. PCA’s streamlined operation continues to deliver quality OEM wire harnesses and other products quickly, while optimizing costs.
Wire harness manufacturing is the act of producing a set of wires, cables, connectors and terminals that control a vehicle’s electrical system. Wire harnesses relay electrical power and information to outlying components such as:
An engine wiring harness acts as a lifeline to these devices.
In the high performance Original Equipment Manufacturing (OEM) marketplace, there is always a need to make an engine wiring harness more reliable, smaller and with higher electrical capabilities. These environments normally require continued and consistent wire harness performance where inoperativeness cannot be tolerated. These wire harnesses are known as Class 3 and are used in vehicles that operate in harsh and unforgiving environments.

A wire harness assembly is also known as a wire harness, cable harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom. A wire harness is an intricate assembly of electrical wires, cables and connectors that transmits electrical power and information signals.

Previously certified as ISO 9001:2008 at all facilities, Precision Cable Assemblies (PCA), has completed the audit process that will update their certifications to the latest version of ISO 9001 which is 9001:2015. Companies that are currently ISO 9001:2008 certified have until September 2018 to become ISO 9001:2015 certified. PCA is beating the rush by completing the certification of their facilities located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, Waukesha, Wisconsin, QingDao City, China and Guadalupe, Mexico.
The wire harness manufacturing process can be challenging given the manual assembly tasks it involves, and the specifications that must be met. Quality standards are very high, particularly in the heavy transportation and off road vehicle and equipment sectors, with minimal error rates allowable.
Quality inspection procedures of the wire harness manufacturing process have generally focused on circuit presence and electrical continuity. This type of inspection also functions as a verification of the presence of correct electrical connectors or components and is conducted on the wire harness assembly board. However, this type of testing does not verify the presence of non-conducting elements of a harness like TPAs, boots, clips and zip ties, or the proper assembly of multi-part electrical connectors.
