Auto cable ties are the most commonly used protective material for wire harness fixation and are mainly made of PA66. Most of the fixings in the wire harness are completed with auto cable ties. The function of the tie is to fasten the wire harness and secure it firmly and reliably to the body's sheet metal holes, bolts, steel plates, and other parts to prevent the wire harness from vibrating, shifting, or interfering with other components and causing damage to the wire harness.
Although there are many types of cable ties, they can be divided into the following types according to the type of sheet metal clamping: clamping round hole type cable ties, clamping waist round hole type cable ties, clamping bolt type cable ties, clamping steel plate type cable ties, etc.
The round hole type auto cable ties are mostly used in places where the sheet metal is relatively flat and the wiring space is large and the wiring harness is smooth, such as in the cab. The diameter of the round hole is generally 5~8 mm.
The waist-shaped round hole type auto cable tie is mostly used on the trunk or branches of the wire harness. This kind of cable tie cannot be rotated at will after installation and has strong fixation stability. It is mostly used in the front cabin. The hole diameter is generally 12*6 mm, 12*7mm)
Bolt-type auto cable ties are mostly used in places where the sheet metal is thick or uneven and the wiring harness has irregular directions, such as firewalls. The hole diameter is generally 5mm or 6mm.
The clamping steel plate type auto cable tie is mainly used on the edge of the steel sheet metal to clamp the sheet metal to smooth the transition of the wire harness and prevent the edge of the sheet metal from scratching the wire harness. It is mostly used in the wire harness and rear bumper located in the cab. The thickness of the sheet metal is generally 0.8~2.0mm.
