Abstract: A system and method for shaping a flexible circuit (FC) having a set of conductive traces disposed within a set of insulation layers and a shaped FC, each involve using a non-conductive tool defining complimentary first and second tool portions and a shape therebetween, the tool being configured to receive a portion of the FC therebetween the first and second tool portions, a set of conductive heating elements arranged substantially in parallel with each other and disposed within the first and second tool portions, and a power source configured to provide power to the conductive heating elements causing the conductive heating elements to generate heat energy to shape the FC portion without removing any of the FC portion.

Abstract: A wiring harness assembly includes a first flexible planar wire cable having a first plurality of separated conductors formed in a first insulating layer comprising a first substantially flat exterior surface, a second flexible planar wire cable having a second plurality of separated conductors formed in a second insulating layer comprising a second substantially flat exterior surface, and a first plurality of apertures formed in the first substantially flat exterior surface and a second plurality of apertures formed in the second substantially flat exterior surface. The first and second plurality of apertures are sized, shaped, and arranged such that an electrical connection is made between the first and second plurality of separated conductors through the first and second plurality of apertures.

Abstract: A wiring harness assembly includes a first flexible planar wire cable. The first flexible planar wire cable has a first plurality of separated conductors formed in a first insulating layer. The first insulating layer includes a first flat exterior surface. The first flat exterior surface defines first apertures that expose at least a portion the first plurality of separated conductors. The first apertures are sized, shaped, and arranged such that arranging a second flat exterior surface of a second flexible planar wire cable in contact with the first flat exterior surface enables an electrical connection between the first plurality of separated conductors and a second plurality of separated conductors formed in a second insulating layer of the second flexible planar wire cable.
