A method of forming a grommet configured to provide support for a cable exiting of a housing is presented herein. The method includes the steps of providing a sleeve and a sealing part and providing one or more reinforcement members in a region of a transition between the sleeve and the sealing part. At least one of the sleeve and the sealing part are made from a material that is softer than a material of said one or more reinforcement members.

Grommet, electronic member and method of forming said grommet

A grommet configured to provide support for a cable exiting of a housing is presented herein. The grommet has a generally elongate shape extending along a longitudinal axis. The grommet includes a sealing part configured to interact with an inner wall of an exit point of the housing, a sleeve arranged around the longitudinal axis and configured to be arranged outside of the housing to act as a cable relief on the outside of the housing, the sealing part, and one or more reinforcement members provided in a transition region between the sealing part and the sleeve. An electronic member including an electric cable connected to an electronic component present within the housing of the electronic member and the grommet as well as a method of the forming grommet is also presented.
