Practical guides, design tips and real-world insights on custom cable assemblies, wire harnesses and connectivity.
Wire Termination Methods — Crimping and Soldering Crimping is the controlled mechanical compression of a contact barrel around a conductor to create a permanent electrical and mechanical termination [3][4]. NASA defines soldering as “the process of joining clean metallic surfaces through the use of solder without direct fusion of the base metals” [2]. In high-reliability cable and harness work, the standards cited here generally prefer crimping for removable contacts and many splice applications, but soldered contacts are also used where the connector design, contact style, or assembly requirement calls for them

CABLE ASSEMBLY DESIGN
Design with ease using our Cable Design Tool, and we’ll bring your cable assemblies to life.
OUR PROCESS
At Pickering Connect, we make custom cable assembly easy and efficient. Our streamlined process ensures that your project runs smoothly from design to delivery. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how it works:
Use our intuitive Cable Design Tool to easily draw your design. If you get stuck at any phase of the project, simply reach out to our technicians using the built-in chat for assistance.
Once your design is complete, our technicians will review your project and provide feedback to improve manufacturability, performance, and cost-efficiency.
After you approve the project, we will manufacture the cable and ship it to you, anywhere in the world.
Do you already have a design drawing and don’t feel like redrawing it? Simply send it over, and we’ll handle the rest.
* Please note that additional charges may apply.
