FIGURE 30. HARNESS BINDINGS.
Wiring Harness Bindings
Several methods are employed to bind the wire bundles together in
wiring harness assemblies. Each method has an intended or preferred application in military
vehicles.
- Tape binding. This binding is intended for vehicle interior wiring applications where
wires are unprotected, and an additional measure of snag protection and abrasion
resistance is required. Cables are bound together with one-half overlapping turns of
tape. Tape, Type EF-9, Black, MIL-I-5126, has demonstrated suitable lowtemperature
flexibility (-10F cold bend) in the military environment.
