Color arrangement of electrical cables for vehicles

摘要

The object of the invention is to reduce the number of colors provided on electrical cables wired in a vehicle. The unitary wire harness containing the greatest number of electrical cables is taken as the critical harness. The critical number of different color markings is then determined from the following formula:wherein A is the number of electrical cables contained in the critical unitary wire harnesses, B is the number of connectors to be engaged with the critical unitary wire harness, and C is the number of terminal receiving elements contained in all of the connectors. The critical number of different cable color markings thus obtained allows the reduction of the number of different cable color markings, and the electrical cables of the same cable color marking can be differentiated when they are connected to a connector.
