Validation

harness.design has several built-in tools to make sure your harness is built correctly.

Wire Gauge

If the Wire gauge does not match the properties of the Contact, a warning is shown in the Schematic view.

If multiple wires go into one contact, the sizes will be summed to calculate the total gauge.

Multiple wire gauges are calculated by converting AWG to mm², adding them together, then converting back to AWG.

If the Connector and Connector Part do not match the number of cavities, a warning is shown in the Schematic view.

Parts with the same cavity count are suggested at the top of the parts list when assigning a part to a connector.

Contacts from the same manufacturer are suggested at the top of the parts list when assigning a contact to a connector.

Wires with no part assigned to them are highlighted in the Connection view as No Part.

Wires that cannot be routed through Bundles will show a NO ROUTE warning on the Connection screen.

Parts that have not been assigned to components are highlighted in the Parts view as Not Used.

Terminals and Connectors are validated to ensure that they are compatible mates. See:
