How an Automotive Headlamp Manufacturer Improved Cable Protection with SBW-PET Sleeving
Jul 16 , 2025This European-based company is a leading automotive lighting system manufacturer, supplying OEM headlamp assemblies—including LED modules, adaptive beam control, DRLs, and fog lamps—to various passenger and commercial vehicle brands.
With increasing headlamp complexity, the customer sought a solution to effectively protect internal wiring harnesses while enhancing assembly efficiency.
The customer previously used traditional corrugated and heat-shrink tubing but encountered several limitations:
Problem | Description |
Complex Installation | Corrugated tubing requires threading and shrinking—time-consuming and bulky |
Local Abrasion | Cable jackets easily wear out at metal contact points |
Limited Flexibility | Inflexible for design changes or rework |
Compliance Gaps | Must comply with strict EU/US environmental and flame-retardant standards |
