Innovative, customized cabling capabilities
for demanding environments.
At HARCO our designers have long applied their
experience and technical expertise to the development
of customized electrical and high temperature cable
harness assemblies. The designs are developed to
perform in the harshest environments. This dedication
to innovation and overall performance allows your
designs to push the envelope with utmost confi dence.
HARCO’s in house capabilities allow us to utilize a
variety of jacket materials including Metallic or
Non-Metallic Braid solutions that will stand up to
extreme conditions such as high temperature
applications no matter your operating environment.
We also offer a variety of termination arrangements;
whether your application requires exposed pigtails,
lugs or terminals, integrated sensors, switches, or
connectors available with molded, potted or
repairable backshells our in house molding
capabilities ensure your assembly will meet the
highest standards for any operating environment.
From simple point to point assemblies to complex
multi – branched, multi-connector or integrated with
sensors or switches, jacketed or bundled assemblies,
HARCO is your best choice for cost effective highly
reliable quality solutions.
HARCO not only designs systems to exacting
OEM specifi cations for both aerospace (airframe,
engine and aircraft systems) and industrial &
marine applications, we are also FAA approved to
manufacture or overhaul all your interconnect needs.

Flexible High Temperature Cables
We manufacture high temperature wire and connector designs capable of operating
at up to 2000º F. Conductors are available in thermocouple, nickel, nickel plated
copper alloy, or in any combination of these materials. Insulation materials are
non-asbestos and capable of continuous operating temperatures of up to 2000º F.
Standard connector designs are based on MIL-spec interfaces with continuous
operating temperatures of up to 1000º F. Outer metallic braids of stainless steel,
nickel, or inconel can be applied to cables for abrasion protection.

Overmolded Connectors
HARCO uses the transfer molding process to overmold connectors to the cable jacket.
This creates a watertight bond which prevents corrosion of connector wire terminations
and dampens the effects of vibration. A wide variety of compounds are available to
provide temperature and fl uid compatibility. Standard compounds include neoprene,
Viton ® , silicone, Hypalon ® , EPDM, and thermal resistant epoxy.
Jacketing And Hardware
HARCO has the in house capability to apply a variety of jacketing materials, including
neoprene, Tefl on®, silicone, Viton ® , polyurethane, and both rigid and fl exible metallic
jackets. Wires are terminated to the connector, jackets are applied, and the seal is
installed. Cables can be assembled with interface hardware for termination at your
site; terminated or unterminated leads are left exposed after sealing for your
installation in the terminal box. Our technical publications department can supply
instructions for customer termination or fi eld installation.
Flexible Cable To Rigid Transition
This high temperature cable design with integral thermocouple probes features an
overmolded transition at the cable to probe interface, providing a moisture-proof
seal to the probe. Coupled with the overmolded connector, the entire cable assembly
is waterproof. The cable incorporates EMI/RFI shielding with an abrasion resistant
jacketing of Tefl on ® spiral wrap.
In House Braiding
HARCO’s in house braiding operations provide a means for applying EMI/RFI shields
and chafe-resistant jackets to branched cable assemblies. The shields can be
electrically continuous to each connector in the assembly. Coverage can be controlled
at all points along the cable. In-house bobbin winding equipment allows HARCO
engineers the fl exibility to design with tailored combinations of materials and ends on
a single bobbin, based on application requirements. Standard materials include metals,
fi bers, and composites.
Open Bundle Assemblies
Provide maximum repairability and fl exibility of cable. Special jackets and protective
devices can be incorporated to protect the wire/fi ber jackets from abrasion without
affecting repairability. These specially designed lightweight cables accommodate
electrical and optical conductors. EMI/RFI shielding of electrical cable assemblies
is provided by individual shields of twisted complexes which are terminated at the
backshells or carried through the connector pin.
