Junction clamp for wiring harness

Abstract

A unitary, molded plastic junction clamp having a generally T-shaped final configuration for securing the wiring junction between a trunk portion and a split out branch portion of a wiring harness includes a flexible plastic main panel having a generally rectangular trunk section and a crossing generally rectangular branch section, a pair of flexible cable ties disposed on opposite sides of the trunk section and being integrally molded therewith and a pair of flexible cable ties associated with the branch portion. As a one piece molded unit the junction clamp begins as a substantially planar member and is able to be readily formed around the trunk portion of the wiring harness. The opposite pair of cable ties encircle the trunk portion at which point they are secured and tightened. The forming of the trunk section of the main panel so as encircle the trunk portion of the wiring harness disposes the branch section of the main panel in position upwardly and around the split out branch portion of the wiring harness. The cable ties associated with the branch section are then drawn around the branch portion and secured so as to tighten the branch section around the branch portion and create the generally T-shaped junction securing the trunk portion and split out branch portion of the wiring harness together.
