Create Your Final Connections
With Harness Design

With Altium Designer you can create harnesses in a familiar environment where you already design electronics.

Seamlessly Design Wiring for Your Harness

Save money and time with harness design functionality that is already part of Altium Designer. You don't need to purchase, install, or configure any third-party wiring or documentation software.

Effortless Integration With Your Project Data

Save effort by working from a single, cohesive data model for your projects that unifies your design process. Easily access and manipulate detailed data for schematics, layouts, simulations, and harness designs rather than storing and manually syncing separate data for each element.

Communicate Project Specification to Procurement and Manufacturing with Ease

Communicate Requirements to Procurement and Manufacturing with Ease

Accurately track part selections for your harness and PCBs, and ensure your device is assembled on time by generating a BOM and manufacturing drawings right in Altium Designer.

You Don't Need to Learn Any Additional Software

Working with a Harness project takes place in the same environment and with the same tools as the Altium Designer schematic editor. Any engineer familiar with the Altium Designer interface can easily start working with their Harness Design using the same panels and actions they’re already familiar with.

Coordinate Harness Projects With Multiboards

Keep changes automatically in sync when a Harness project is created as part of a Multiboard project. Design changes remain consistent between connectors and parent PCBs.

Use Component Libraries for Connectors

You can use component libraries for connectors that are part of cable assemblies, as well as related components such as crimp contacts. Thanks to this, all information is traceable, consistent, and transferred to an ActiveBOM document so you won't forget any details when generating purchasing documents.

Ensure Proper Harness Construction

You can assign each connection to a specific conductor, which allows you to align individual wires with their connectors. With this information you can easily combine groups of wires into branches of harnesses.

Formulate Harness Labeling Requirements

Apply marking information that you'll need to put on a finished product by placing special layout label types on design objects.

Add Necessary Notes About Design Features

Easily document any unique characteristics about the construction of your harness and cable assemblies, such as wire stranding or shielding, as well as conductors that were intentionally left disconnected.

Use Draftsman to Generate Drawings

Draftsman documents are available for Harness projects, allowing you to create technical documentation for your harness project, including a general view of the cable assembly, dimensions, notes, and connection tables.
