A bracket configured to mount a high voltage component to a structure of a vehicle. The bracket includes a body, a plurality of first apertures formed in the body that are each respectively configured for receipt of a fastener that secures the body to the high voltage component, and a plurality of second apertures formed in the body that are respectively configured for receipt of a fastener that secures the body to the structure of the vehicle. Upon application of a sufficient force to the vehicle, a material of the body that forms at least one of the first apertures and the second apertures is configured to fail to permit either the body and the high voltage component to disengage from structure of the vehicle or the high voltage component to disengage from the body.

A frame system for a vehicle including a high-voltage component that includes a pair of spaced apart primary rails that extend from a front of the vehicle toward a rear of the vehicle and a pair of longitudinally extending sills. An impact support rail extends outward from each of the primary rails, and connects each respective primary rail to one of the sills. A cross-member extends outward from each of the primary rails, and connects each respective primary rail to one of the sills, and a laterally extending frame support member extends between the sills at a location between the impact support rails and the cross-members. A pocket is collectively formed between each primary rail, the respective impact support rail, the respective sill, the respective cross-member, and the laterally extending frame support member, and the pocket is configured for receipt and protection of the high-voltage component.
