In recent years, automotive vehicles have undergone many technological changes in a short period of time. Vehicles are now more comfortable, safer and more fuel efficient, but also highly complex.
The Electrical Distribution System (EDS) constantly has to adapt to these changes regarding concept quality and technological requirements.
As the founders of modern EDS and a global market leader, we deliver reliable EDS solutions using state-of-the-art technologies for wiring harnesses & components including wires, junction boxes, fuses, connectors, etc.
Yazaki's experience in wiring harnesses goes back to 1929. We have put our long-standing expertise into engineering harnesses that have minimal splices and efficient and reliable performance while withstanding extreme conditions over long distances.
Due to the complexity of wiring harnesses, containing up to 5000 components or even more, vertical integration is the best way to ensure the highest level of control over quality and performance of all processes. Our virtual design and digital factory concept accompany and support the development chain and enable constant analysis of production feasibility, installation and reliability of our wiring harness products.
Whatever you need, we are ready to help with our wiring harness products for all automotive segments.
Our specialist knowledge in automotive wire development and production dates back to 1949. As a manufacturing company with many decades of expertise, we have a comprehensive knowledge of the complete value chain of wiring harnesses.
We proactively investigate trends in the market, legislation and society, which enable us to develop state-of-the-art wire technologies and support or drive the introduction of new wire technologies and system applications (e.g. entertainment, green products).
To make sure that we always meet all customer demands, our standard wire range covers the full line of automotive wires and cables such as:
Single core cable (optimised for different temperatures)
In today’s vehicles, it is important to separate special applications and systems from the overall Electrical Distribution System (EDS) to enable simple integration of specific sub-harnesses. These sub-harnesses support moveable and flexible vehicle functions.
Careful selection and dedicated treatment of material is essential for ideal implementation. We provide consistently high quality and reliability across our spectrum of components, no matter whether dynamic or non-dynamic sub-harnesses are required.
Yazaki investigates all vehicle areas to ensure improvement and development. A solution on our part means quality, reliability and value for you.
Besides being a major wiring harness and systems supplier and integrator for OEMs, Yazaki is expanding activities to supply Tiers 1, 2, and 3 with the same high-quality products for special locations and applications.
We offer solutions for all special connections of electrical components and systems:
Yazaki is a leader in pioneering the junction box with more than 25 years of experience in the field of power distribution, and we are continuously improving our performance and dependability using our network of globally shared knowledge.
We offer many variants of power distribution boxes and meet your requirements with the right solution.
Our power distribution products
As the power consumption in vehicles is at an all-time high and could soon reach its critical limit, Yazaki provides intelligent power distribution and power management with its junction box to assure proper support of the growing electric & electronic content.
Power distribution being one of Yazaki's core strengths since the founding of the company enables us to offer a variety of power distribution products:
The Electrical Distribution System development is influenced by a number of surrounding factors. We meet this challenge head on and adapt our design to industry and society requirements and trends.
Design for Environment
The Electrical Distribution System development is influenced by a number of surrounding factors. We meet this challenge head on and adapt our design to industry and society requirements and trends.
As environmental performance in the automotive industry has become increasingly important, new vehicle programs contain important targets for environmental product design to minimise the impact on the end-of-life process including reusability, recyclability and recoverability.
Yazaki Europe Limited has implemented a Design for Environment (DfE) Guideline which is embedded in the overall design guidelines in accordance with the legal requirements.
Yazaki connectors improve the overall system integrity, while supporting a full range of connection systems. Our connectors are optimised for size, weight and performance - sealed, unsealed, off-the-shelf, and custom-designed.
Along with traditional junction boxes, fuses and fuse links, Yazaki offers a wide range of battery prefusing devices, including customer specific solutions.
Ways to reduce material consumption (e.g. reduce usage of virgin material)
In the last 40 years, progress in innovative technology and production has enabled us to reduce the outer diameter of our wire from the thick-walled PVC insulated wire in the 1970’s to the thin-walled PVC range in the 1980’s and to ultra thin-walled types in the 1990’s. This technology enhancement is the basis for today’s application of new wire type developments with less insulation material.
Weight reduction was achieved by the on-going development of smaller, thinner and lighter wires, with the shift from 0.35 mm² to 0.22 mm² and 0.13 mm². In 2006, Yazaki began mass production of 0.13 mm² wires, which is currently the smallest available wire size in the automotive industry.
