US Automotive & EV Wire Harness
Automotive and EV wire harness manufacturing in Cavite, Philippines — including EV high-voltage harnesses — with IATF 16949 process discipline, PPAP, and a non-China production origin. Built for US OEMs that need a China-alternative, tariff-resilient EMS partner with a documented non-China production origin, English-language support, and Section 301 / UFLPA-aware sourcing.

Automotive & EV
Automotive Harnesses, EV High-Voltage Included.
Automotive and EV harness programs carry process expectations that go beyond a clean crimp: IATF 16949 discipline, APQP planning, PPAP submission, FMEA, control plans, and MSA. The Cavite floor runs harness programs against that framework, with IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 acceptance as the workmanship baseline.
EV brings the additional demands of high-voltage harnesses: orange high-voltage cable (typical EV battery and drive-system voltages, commonly into the hundreds of volts DC), shielded and HV-interlock-loop (HVIL) circuits, larger conductors and ring/lug terminals (heavy-gauge battery and bus leads down through signal conductors), HiPot and insulation-resistance testing, and routing discipline for safety and EMI. These are built and tested as a controlled process with documented evidence; HV dielectric and insulation-resistance test parameters are agreed against your specification, and certified safety-agency or homologation testing, where required, is routed to a customer-approved lab rather than claimed in-house. Our scope is harness build and electrical test — we do not perform vehicle-level validation or issue safety-agency certifications ourselves.
Whether the program is a low-volume validation build or a production automotive harness, NPI starts at one piece on the intended production cell, and the first 12-hour RFQ reply states the PPAP path, lead time, and connector strategy.
PPAP-Ready From The Start
APQP, PPAP, FMEA, control plans, and MSA structured for automotive and EV programs, so the documentation is built alongside the harness, not bolted on later.
English-Language Engineering Desk
US engineering, quality, and procurement teams work directly in English with the Cavite desk — RFQ replies, DFM notes, work instructions, and audit calls are handled in English without an extra relay layer.
Lead Time & Logistics To The US
Cavite ships to the US by air and ocean freight through standard forwarders, with the PEZA export record, commercial invoice, packing list, and Philippine certificate-of-origin support your customs broker needs. We do not file your entry or set duty rates — your broker confirms the HTS classification and current duty treatment.
Comparison
Generic Harness Shop vs XUDONG Cavite (Automotive/EV)
Automotive and EV buyers need a harness manufacturer that speaks PPAP and high-voltage safety, not just crimp counts. This comparison reflects that decision.
| Decision Factor | China-origin / single-source sourcing | XUDONG · Cavite |
|---|---|---|
| Process discipline | ISO claim may not map to IATF 16949 APQP / PPAP expectations. | IATF 16949 discipline with APQP, PPAP, FMEA, control plans, and MSA. |
| EV high-voltage | High-voltage harness experience and HiPot evidence may be limited. | Orange HV cable, shielded / interlock circuits, HiPot and insulation-resistance testing with records. |
| Acceptance baseline | Class 2 unless Class 3 is called out and priced. | IPC/WHMA-A-620 Class 3 acceptance as the default workmanship baseline. |
| Validation & low volume | Validation builds pushed to higher MOQs. | 1-piece NPI for validation builds, with pilot and production tiers and a stated PPAP path. |
| Tariff & origin exposure for US buyers | China-origin shipments are exposed to Section 301 surcharges on the affected HTS lines, and a single China source has no documented alternate origin. | When Philippine origin is established under the applicable rules, the affected lines fall outside the China Section 301 target, giving US procurement a documented, UFLPA-aware alternate source — with the HTS classification and duty rate confirmed by your customs broker. |
Program Process
How A Program Starts
The fastest way to qualify an overseas supplier is to make the first week concrete: drawing review, engineering questions, sample plan, quality documentation, and export assumptions. That is how we structure the kickoff.
01
Send drawings, BOM, photos, or a sample
DXF, PDF, harness-board photos, connector list, annual volume, target lead time, and required documentation are enough for the first review. A mutual NDA can be signed before drawing transfer.
02
Free DFM and material review
Cavite engineering checks connector availability, crimp tooling, fixture-board need, cable jacket, test requirements, and any overmold or backshell tooling. The first reply includes NPI, pilot, and production pricing.
03
Sample on the production cell
The first article is built on the intended Cavite production cell. Cross-section photos, pull-force logs, continuity, HiPot, and dimensional checks ship with the sample.
04
Pilot lot and control-plan lock
Pilot production validates operator cycle time, fixture repeatability, connector supply, packing method, and inspection sampling. The control plan is locked only after pilot defects and customer comments are closed.
05
Production plus export package
Commercial shipments include the PEZA export record, certificate-of-origin support, invoice, packing list, and traceability records your customs broker or freight forwarder needs.
Capability Stack
Automotive & EV Harness Capability
Automotive and EV harness programs built to IATF 16949 process discipline, including EV high-voltage harnesses, with the documentation automotive customers expect.
Automotive harnesses
Branched body, chassis, and module harnesses with fixture-board production and per-leg labeling.
EV high-voltage harnesses
Orange HV cable, shielded and HV-interlock-loop (HVIL) circuits, large-conductor ring/lug terminals, and HV-safe routing for typical EV battery and drive-system voltages (commonly up to several hundred volts DC), with HiPot and insulation-resistance parameters set to your specification. Certified safety-agency / homologation testing, where a program requires it, is routed to a customer-approved lab.
Sealed & waterproof
Sealed connectors, grommets, and IP-rated exits for under-hood and exterior applications.
PPAP / APQP package
APQP planning, PPAP submission, FMEA, control plans, and MSA records for automotive programs.
HV & electrical test
HiPot, insulation resistance, continuity, crimp cross-section, and pull-force verification.
Connector & terminal library
Brand-authorized automotive connector and terminal sourcing with calibrated applicators.
Facility
One Philippines Floor, Group Engineering Behind It.
The Cavite plant sits inside the broader XUDONG group footprint, which spans tooling, mold engineering, and connector sourcing across Asia. That gives the Philippines floor engineering depth and supplier leverage while keeping production origin, labor base, export process, and customer-facing communication Philippines-based.
For a transfer program that balance is the point: close enough to the Asian tooling and connector network to retain engineering leverage, but with a real non-China production origin and an English-speaking interface for overseas buyers.
