Designing a Modular Wiring Harness for Multi-Function Vehicle Trackers
The article discusses the design of a modular wiring harness for multi-function vehicle trackers. It highlights the challenges of managing multiple SKUs in telematics and presents a solution using a 9-pin modular architecture. This approach allows for swappable wiring harnesses that can adapt to various tracking functions while maintaining a common base PCB.
- ▪The fleet management market is projected to reach $27 billion by 2025, growing at approximately 17% CAGR.
- ▪The modular wiring harness design includes fixed pins for universal functions and a modular zone for swappable modules.
- ▪Six different modules can be connected to the 9-pin connector, each serving a unique function such as SOS buttons, backup batteries, and temperature probes.
