good cable wiring strain relief/mechanical implementation guidelines?
(1/1)
coppercone2:
Is there any good documents relating to a good method of securing a wiring harness or cable into a chassis? For different setups, lengths, gauges, wire insulation types, all that stuff.

I have read some military wiring requirements before but the documentation was very long dry and had no pictures or anything (interesting to note though the neat trick to cut a diagnol line into a grommet if you intend to use it in a key way to make the wire travel longer and less likely to remove itself from the grommet).

Like good manufacturing data with maybe some test results etc.

When I look at old equipment its secured like crazy with wires ties and stuff but I want to know the difference between good and bomb proof. I have an idea of what bad is, but I don't know how to properly design this without what is in my mind severe overkill.
bugrobotics:
I'm not aware of any such guidelines.  The effectiveness of a particular cable strain relief depends upon the application.  Environment variables (vibration, fluid ingress, etc.), mobility requirements, serviceability and more could make a particular solution overkill and expensive or inadequate. 

Were you looking for a solution to a particular situation or just curious?  I'd like to hear about your findings if you have success in your search.

something like those milspec wiring guidelines but more modern I guess
