A wire harness assembly includes a wire harness and a bracket fixedly secured to the wire harness by an overmold. The bracket includes a first wall fixedly secured to and facing the wire harness from a first radial angle with respect to a centerline of the wire harness such that a first wall normal line directed normal from the first wall intersects the centerline of the wire harness where the first wall is fixedly secured to the wire harness. The bracket also includes a second wall fixedly secured to and facing the wire harness from a second radial angle that is a different radial angle from the first radial angle with respect to the centerline of the wire harness such that a second wall normal line directed from the second wall intersects the centerline of the wire harness where the second wall is fixedly secured to the wire harness.

Wire harness assembly with overmolded bracket

A bracket for use in supporting a module within a vehicle. The bracket includes a first end, a second end, and a bracket body extending between the first end and the second end. The bracket body includes at least one attachment point defined at each of the first end and the second end, a first side that defines a mounting surface, and a second side opposite the first side. The bracket body also includes a reinforced side wall that extends about the at least one attachment point. The reinforced side wall is configured to define a bushing receptacle on both the first side and the second side of the bracket body.

Bracket and mounting system for use in supporting a module within a vehicle

A parking brake system for a vehicle includes a parking brake wire configured to be routed along the vehicle to a wheel assembly and a mounting bracket coupled to the parking brake wire. The mounting bracket is configured to mount the parking brake wire to an undercarriage of the vehicle. The mounting bracket has an edge configured to face a fuel tank of the vehicle. A crash protection sleeve is coupled to the parking brake wire near the mounting bracket. The crash protection sleeve is positioned to engage the fuel tank prior to the edge of the mounting bracket engaging the fuel tank in an event of a vehicle crash. The crash protection sleeve may surround the parking brake wire and may prevent contact of the mounting bracket with the fuel tank.
