Furukawa Electric’s automotive systems portfolio includes wire harnesses, automotive connectors and functional automotive products. The Group describes wire harnesses as electrical distribution systems that carry power and signals throughout vehicles.
Furukawa Electric also develops harness technologies for electric and hybrid vehicles as automotive electrical systems become larger and more complex.
One relevant technology is the use of aluminum wire in automotive wire harnesses. Furukawa Electric states that aluminum-wire harnesses can be about 40% lighter than conventional copper-wire versions and lists PFAM among the manufacturing and sales locations for this product category.
Furukawa’s automotive connector portfolio covers a wide range of electrical conditions and vehicle environments, from small signals to larger electrical power.
Technology statements on this page describe publicly documented Furukawa Group automotive technology and should not be interpreted as a claim that every listed product is manufactured at PFAM unless specifically stated.
