Our field is the <strong>high mix and low volume<\/strong>: prototypes, short series, pilot runs and product families with many variants and few pieces per part number.<\/p><p>That&#039;s where a high-volume supplier doesn&#039;t want to go, because every configuration change costs them a line stoppage. For us, that change is normal operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h5\">Where we fit in, and where we don&#039;t<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Yes, we are your supplier if:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>You need <strong>prototypes or short series<\/strong> to validate a design before releasing it.<\/li><li>Have <strong>many variations and few pieces<\/strong> of each one.<\/li><li>The harness has <strong>instrumentation, signal or control<\/strong>, not just power.<\/li><li>You require <strong>traceability per piece<\/strong>, with a record of the electrical test of each unit.<\/li><li>You&#039;re wearing a harness that <strong>another supplier was unable to deliver<\/strong> due to complexity.<\/li><li>You need <strong>reconstruction or rework<\/strong> of harnesses already manufactured.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>We are not your supplier if:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>You&#039;re looking for high-volume automotive assembly line production: thousands of identical part numbers per month, with price per part as the primary criterion. That job is done better\u2014and cheaper\u2014by a dedicated volume manufacturer, and you should go with them.<\/li><\/ul><p>We can produce at scale when the project justifies it, but <strong>We don&#039;t compete on price in volume.<\/strong>. We compete where difficulty, mix and traceability outweigh unit cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h5\">What we manufacture<\/h2>\n<ul><li><strong>Electrical harnesses<\/strong> for industrial equipment, machinery and control panels.<\/li><li><strong>Electronic and signal harnesses<\/strong>Instrumentation, sensors, communication and data bus.<\/li><li><strong>Custom cables<\/strong>: point-to-point assemblies with specific connector and exact length.<\/li><li><strong>Harnesses for test bench and validation<\/strong>, including those for internal customer use.<\/li><li><strong>Reconstruction and rework<\/strong> of existing harnesses.<\/li><\/ul><p>We work with Tier-1 automotive and global EMS suppliers operating in Mexico, as well as manufacturers of industrial equipment, household appliances, and instrumentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h5\">Electrical test of the 100% with equipment designed by us<\/h2>\n<p>We don&#039;t outsource the testing or solve it with a multimeter. <strong>We designed and manufactured our own harness tester<\/strong>, And that allows us to do three things that a sales team doesn&#039;t:<\/p><ul><li><strong>It is modular.<\/strong> It&#039;s configured to the number of points the harness needs, instead of forcing the harness onto the tester. Today we have a configuration of <strong>44 lines<\/strong> operating in a gas pipeline system.<\/li><li><strong>It&#039;s wireless.<\/strong> It is built on a <strong>ESP32-C3 module of our own design and manufacture<\/strong>, This eliminates the wiring from the bench and allows the harness to be tested where it is mounted.<\/li><li><strong>Register.<\/strong> Each test leaves <strong>log<\/strong> with the result per unit. That&#039;s what turns &quot;we tested it&quot; into real traceability.<\/li><\/ul><p>The fact that the module is ours is not a detail: it means that when your harness needs a check that the commercial equipment does not cover, we can program it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Do you need a quote for your harnesses?<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Request your quote quickly, clearly and easily with our <strong data-start=\"169\" data-end=\"193\">Harness Quoter<\/strong>. Share your project specifications, such as connection type, length, quantity, and other relevant details, so we can better understand your requirements and provide you with faster, more accurate service. It&#039;s a practical way to start your request and move more quickly toward a suitable solution for your application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h5\">How do we do it?<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">1. Design review<\/h3>\n<p>Before cutting, we review the drawing with you: point-to-point lengths, gauge per circuit, connector and pin, and identification criteria. If the harness is from a design that hasn&#039;t been released yet, this is where inconsistencies are detected\u2014it&#039;s the cheapest time to find them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">2. Cutting and preparing cables<\/h3>\n<p>Cutting to length with controlled tolerance and calibrated stripping, adjusted to the conductor gauge to avoid damaging the strands. Each batch is checked against the cutting list before proceeding to the next step.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">3. Crimping and welding<\/h3>\n<p>Crimp using the tool and die specific to each terminal, not a universal tool. Where the design requires it, solder and insulate the connection. Crimping is the most common failure point in a harness, so it&#039;s where we exercise the most control.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">4. Connector assembly<\/h3>\n<p>Insert each terminal into its corresponding cavity according to the diagram, verifying its position and ensuring the retainer is in place. A terminal in the wrong cavity is not visible, but it will be detected by electrical testing.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">5. Routing, grouping, and protection<\/h3>\n<p>Over-the-board when the harness requires it, so that all parts come out with the same geometry. Strapping, mesh, corrugated tubing or heat shrink tubing depending on the environment where it is intended.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">6. Electrical testing and recording<\/h3>\n<p>With our modular tester, to <strong>100% of the parts<\/strong>, Not by sampling. Each unit leaves its record. Before the electrical test, a visual inspection is performed against the agreed acceptance criteria.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h6\">7. Identification, packaging and delivery<\/h3>\n<p>Labeled by part number and packaged securely for transport. Departs from Guadalajara or Quer\u00e9taro, whichever is more convenient for your plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3>Do you need a solution for your harnesses?

It compares each harness against a good, engineering-approved (golden) part and detects open circuits, short circuits, crossed pins, and loose crimps by line resistance, with PASS\/FAIL per pin and logging by SKU, carrier, and batch. It tests 64 channels in 11 to 14 seconds and scales in increments of 32 channels.

In cable and harness assemblies, the reference is <strong>IPC\/WHMA-A-620<\/strong>, and the class agrees with you before starting.<\/p><p>We manufacture in <strong>Guadalajara<\/strong> (Tlaquepaque, Jalisco) and <strong>Quer\u00e9taro<\/strong> (The Colorado). The two plants provide national coverage and we have export capacity.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sbc-tam sbc-tam-h5\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Do you make automotive wiring harnesses?<\/strong><br>Yes, with a specific scope: prototype, validation, test bench and short series for automotive application. <strong>We do not produce assembly line volume.<\/strong> If you need thousands of pieces per month of the same part number, a volume-focused manufacturer will give you a better price and a better delivery time.<\/p><p><strong>Do they test all the pieces or only a sample?<\/strong><br>All of them. Each harness goes through the tester and its record is kept.<\/p><p><strong>What is the difference between an electrical harness and an electronic harness?<\/strong><br>Electrical cables carry power, and their primary criteria are current capacity and insulation. Electronic cables carry signals, and their key factors are shielding, impedance, and noise. We manufacture both, and in the latter, recording testing goes from being an extra to an essential component.<\/p><p><strong>Do you work with my drawing or do you need something else?<\/strong><br>Your drawing or schematic is all we need to start the quote. We also need to know the quantity per part number, how many variations there are, and if you require a test report with the shipment.<\/p><p><strong>Where do they manufacture and where do they deliver?<\/strong><br>In Guadalajara (Tlaquepaque, Jalisco) and Quer\u00e9taro (El Colorado). Both plants provide national coverage and we can export.<\/p><p><strong>What other services are combined with the harness?<\/strong><br>When the harness is part of a larger assembly, one of these usually fits: <a href=\"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/preforme\/\">component preform<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/programacion\/\">microprogramming<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sbcgroup.com.mx\/en\/encintado-de-componentes\/\">taping of components<\/a>.
