5 sections • 31 lectures • 6h 40m total length

Introduction3:39
Why is a wiring harness required3:36
Learn why wiring harnesses are essential in modern vehicles, delivering power from the 12-volt battery to headlights, wipers, seats, and air conditioning, while also carrying high voltage and data.
Basic components of a wiring harness7:24

Wires13:17
Learn to distinguish wire types, including single core and multicore, assess insulation, shielding, and temperature class, and select by current rating, bending radius, AWG, and data sheet details.
Wires, types & datasheets9:17
Connectors18:46
Lugs9:32
Explore lug and terminal types used in wiring harness design—ring, blade, ferrule, quick disconnect, spade, insulated and non-insulated—along with wire size, stripping length, and crimping for secure connections.
Splice terminals2:16
Covering Materials for harness17:27
Discover why wiring harness coverings protect wires from dust, water, and temperature extremes while improving insulation, mechanical strength, and EMI/EMC protection across automotive, industrial, and military uses.
Wire Identification Ferrules2:38

Basic setup before creating wiring harness6:08

Connector Assembly19:25
Open Creo Parametric, set the working directory, and assemble connectors and terminals from step files; name parts by part numbers, apply constraints, and create wire-entry coordinate systems.
Connector Designation9:15
Design a three-pin wire harness by assembling two connectors in Creo Parametric, designate them as electrical parts, and cabling to define entry ports and internal wire length.
Route Network Creation3:54
Route a network between two connectors to build a wire harness, using offset from point to place network points, set the harness template to abs, and save.
Wire Creation & Routing19:13
Flattening process for wire harness9:04
Create a flat view of a wire harness in Creo Parametric. Use centerline and flatten, then auto fan and fan out to connect three wires to connectors.
Drawing, BOM, Wirelist creation24:37
Wire insertion view & drawing notes8:26
Annotation & Resources3:56
Annotate insulation tape and wire ferrule locations in the drawing and bill of materials. Prepare a zip file of resources and 3D model references for the wiring harness.

Battery Pack Basics6:43
Learn how to wire a 14-cell lithium-ion pack to a battery management system and connect voltage sensing wires to each cell, preventing undercharge and overcharge.
Routing black cable15:01
Create and route a battery pack harness in Creo Parametric by setting up lugs, defining a coordinate system, and routing a black ten-square-millimeter wire with a wire network.
Routing the battery connector wires22:00
15 Pin Connector assembly creation7:52
Route a low voltage harness using Creo Parametric by creating a 15-pin connector subassembly, importing connectors and terminals, and applying coincident constraints for precise assembly.
Lug Assembly & Harness part file creation3:40
Voltage sense harness routing47:19
Drawing creation Black cable18:01
Flatten a black cable harness and create its drawing in Creo Parametric. Build the flat view, bill of materials, balloons, and wire list for a complete documentation.
Drawing creation Battery connector harness18:18
Learn to create a battery connector harness drawing in Creo Parametric by flattening the harness, detailing the bill of materials, balloons, and wire list.
Drawing creation voltage sense harness Part -119:41
Construct and flatten a voltage sense harness in Creo Parametric, assemble lugs and connectors, fan out wires, adjust lengths, and generate a flat drawing view with dimensions.
Drawing creation voltage sense harness Part -234:56

Requirements

Laptop & Cero Parametric software required. Any version is fine. Version 11 preferred. No prior experience in wiring necessary!
