Harness Attachment Recommendations
• Tie wrap application and tightness should conform to Section 14.1.1 of IPC/WHMA-A-620 “Requirements and
Acceptance for Cable and Wire Harness Assemblies, January 2002 revision or later. Tie wrap application should
meet the Target and Defect of a Class 3 product per IPC/WHMA-A-620.
• Use tie wraps on harness covering only, not on individual wires.
• Do not anchor harness with tie wraps in contact with wire insulation.
• Harness and in-line connectors shall be anchored to prevent free movement.
• Harnesses should not be tie-wrapped to against a sharp edge
• Recommend tension control device tie wrap attachment for vehicle routing and harness construction.
Contact Lubrication Recommendation
Eaton recommends the use of (NyoGel 760G) on all electrical contacts. The preferred method of application is to use a metered
dispensing mechanism that places the material on the socket of the connector. It is also preferred that the material be placed
immediately prior to connector mating to reduce the probability of contamination.
Note: Contact your Eaton OEM Engineering Support Group for additional information.
Additional Harness Design Recommendations
• Recommend the distance of the SAE J-1939 bus between the TCM and ECM should be short as possible.
• Recommend wiring types for the Deutsch connector (DRC26-38-S01)*:
- 18 AWG GXL max /18 AWG TXL min. for Communication and control wires
- 12 AWG GXL or 14 AWG SXL for Power Supply wires
- 12 AWG GXL or 14 AWG SXL for V-Ignition wires
• Recommend cable for the 3-Way Metri-Pack connector*:
- 10 AWG SXL for Power Supply wires to ECA
• Recommend cable for the 8-Way Metri-Pack connector*:
- 18 AWG GXL max 18 AWG TXL min. for communication and control wires to ECA
- 18 AWG GXL for V-Ignition wires
• Recommend splices be ultrasonically welded per IPC/WHMA-A-620 and encapsulated and sealed to meet SAE J-1455.
• Recommend convoluted conduit have a service temperature of at least 257 °F (125 °C).
• Recommend braided loom shall have a service temperature of at least 280 °F (138 °C). Coverage: A minimum of
10 / maximum of 12 picks per inch.
• Recommendation for twisted wires (applies to 16 and 18 AWG wire only)
- 2 Wires = 10 Twists / 25.4 cm
- 3 Wires = 8 Twists / 25.4 cm
• Recommend all harnesses with mission critical functionality have a production test method to guarantee contacts
fully seated.
• Recommend convoluted conduit not be constructed with glass fill. Glass fill causes abrasion of wire insulation
over time.
* Indicated wire gauges and insulation types ensure proper connector sealing and current carrying capacity.
