Abstract
A wiring harness (1010), a motor vehicle component (1000), a mold (15) for manufacturing a wiring harness (1010), a mold system (10) and a method for manufacturing the wiring harness (1010), the wiring harness (1010) comprising at least one bunch (1020) of at least two cables (1025) and a sheath (1030), at least some sections of the bunch (1020) of cables being embedded in the sheath (1030).
Claims21
A wiring harness for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- at least one cable bundle comprising at least two cables and an envelope, wherein at least some section or sections of the cable bundle is/are embedded in the envelope;
- and
- a first fastening element and a second fastening element, which are connected to each other at a fastening plate of the first fastening element,
- wherein the first fastening element has a first fastening bracket with a third aperture,
- wherein the third aperture is configured to correspond to the cable bundle or to one or more cables of the cable bundle,
- wherein the first fastening element is embedded in the envelope,
- wherein the first fastening element is configured to hold at least one of the cables of the cable bundle in a predefined position, and
- wherein the second fastening element has a second engagement section, which is configured to engage in a vehicle component of the motor vehicle in order to fasten the wiring harness on the vehicle component.
