Wire Harness Bundling and Protection

Secure Bundling – Automotive Wire Harnessing Solutions

Harness coverings need to securely bundle harnesses and withstand extreme temperatures and environmental conditions. However, different harnesses require different properties and characteristics. For example, products for the engine compartment have to be highly resistant to temperature while in the car interior, tapes are applied to reduce noises. In both places, abrasion resistance and flexibility play an important role as well.

At tesa, we offer an extensive range of wire harnessing tape solutions made of woven, non-woven, and film backings combined with high-quality adhesives. They fulfill the international OEM specifications for productive materials.

Our innovative tesa Sleeve® solutions offer excellent flexibility for wires so that harnesses can be applied to the car body quickly and flexibly. The solutions also provide weight savings and reduce harness diameters, and are available with customized perforation for most product versions.

Properties and Characteristics

Abrasion Resistance

Abrasion can occur in tight corners, limited space areas, and during manufacturing installation. Instead of using traditional hard plastic coverings or flat tubes, use products with increased flexibility and built-in protection to avoid abrasion.

Noise Damping

A primary concern for any harness located close to passengers is noise. To limit any BSR/NVH problems it is important that the harness is securely fixed in place and utilizes products with enhanced noise damping capabilities.

Temperature Resistance

Harnesses placed near heat sources face the unique challenge of needing to meet temperature requirements that harnesses in other locations do not. Many of the traditional options on the market today require the usage of multiple parts to create the required resistance, which can be both expensive and bulky. We recommend using PET Cloth products and aluminum tape in high heat concentration areas to limit part numbers while still providing the necessary protection.

Flexibility

A current pain point with wire harnesses is the ability to fit the harness into the allotted space. Due to their nature, wire harnesses are bulky and tend to be difficult to maneuver. This makes using products with superior flexibility vitally important. With that in mind, tesa has developed a product assortment with a wide range of flexibility options to suit any need.
