How Hardware Startups Use Wire Harness Assembly to Avoid Field Failures
In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore a critical but often overlooked part of hardware manufacturing: wire harness assembly. They dig into why most field failures in connected devices trace back to a single loose crimp or poorly seated connector, not a chip failure. Drawing on data from a recent teardown of a smart thermostat that failed after six months, they explain how startups can implement simple pull-test and continuity-check stations during prototype runs to catch harness defects before they become warranty claims. Lucas walks through the five-dollar cost of adding a pin-retention…
