Comprehensive Guide to EV Battery and Control System Wiring Harnesses

Introduction: Perfect Match Between Materials and Molds is Key

With the rapid growth of the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market, battery and control system wiring harnesses have become a critical component for electric vehicle performance and safety. Wiring harnesses not only transmit power and signals but also directly affect vehicle reliability, efficiency, and lifespan.

As a professional manufacturer of precision molds, injection-molded parts, and various wiring harnesses, TSP is dedicated to providing high-quality battery harnesses, BMS wiring, and industrial control system harnesses for NEVs, ensuring products meet global safety and performance standards.

1. Overview of EV Wiring Harnesses

EV wiring harnesses are assemblies of cables and terminals designed for the battery management system (BMS), motor controller, and onboard power network. Key features include:

  • High current capacity: Supports high-current charging/discharging and drive system requirements

  • Lightweight design: Optimizes vehicle weight and increases driving range

  • Robust protection: Heat-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and EMI-resistant

  • Modular layout: Simplifies production, installation, and maintenance

  • Smart integration: Supports sensors and monitoring circuits for real-time status tracking

Case Study: TSP provided a custom BMS wiring harness for an EV manufacturer, achieving modular layout, improving installation efficiency by 35%, and reducing maintenance time by 25%.

2. Types and Applications of EV Wiring Harnesses

EV wiring harnesses can be categorized based on function and routing requirements:

  • Battery harnesses: Connect battery packs to the BMS, ensuring safe and efficient power delivery

  • High-voltage power harnesses: For motor controllers and drive systems, requiring high insulation and voltage tolerance

  • Low-voltage control harnesses: Transmit signals for dashboards, ECUs, and auxiliary systems

  • Charging system harnesses: Support fast/slow charging ports and communication

  • Custom BMS harnesses: Optimized for vehicle layout and battery safety

TSP provides full custom solutions tailored to specific vehicle models and battery system layouts, supporting both small-batch prototypes and large-scale production.

3. Design and Manufacturing Considerations

Key aspects for designing and producing EV wiring harnesses include:

  • Wire and terminal selection: High-temperature, low-resistance, vibration-resistant materials

  • Routing and protection: High-quality sleeves, bundling, and heat shrink to prevent wear, shorts, and chemical damage

  • Labeling and modularity: Clear numbering and modular design for easy maintenance and replacement

  • Testing and verification: Electrical performance, pull tests, thermal/humidity/salt spray tests for long-term reliability

  • Compliance with safety standards: ISO 6469, ISO 6722, UL, CE, IPC/WHMA-A-620
