Why Class 3 Wiring Harnesses Should Be Your New Baseline for Critical Systems
In today’s high-stakes applications—whether you're powering an electric vehicle drivetrain, a surgical imaging system, or mission-critical aerospace controls—failure is not an option. That’s why Class 3 wiring harnesses, built to the highest IPC Class 3 standards, should no longer be a specialty option—they should be your default for safety-critical wiring and high-reliability electronics wiring.
What is a Class 3 Wiring Harness?
Class 3 wiring harnesses meet the strictest wiring harness standards under IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3. They are intended for critical systems wiring where performance on demand is essential and downtime is unacceptable. Common applications include:
Defense wiring systems
Medical device wiring harnesses
Aerospace wiring harnesses
Automotive wiring harness Class 3 builds
At Celestix Industries, we manufacture every Class 3 wiring harness with:
Zero-defect philosophy (DPPM = 0)
100% continuity and high-voltage testing
IPC Class 3 certified operators
Environmental and mechanical stress validation
We treat Class 3 as the baseline wiring standard for any application where reliability is non-negotiable.
