Fuel flange with molded-in wire harness and diode structure

摘要

A wire harness assembly and flange combination of a mechanical returnless fuel system includes a wire harness assembly (10) having at least two terminals (14'). Each terminal is joined with at least one wire (12') via an electrical connection (15'). Diode structure (16) is electrically connected between the at least two terminals. A body (18) of plastic material encapsulates at least the electrical connection. A flange (20) is molded from plastic material and defines an inside region (26) and an outside region (22). The terminals are accessible from the outside region of the flange, with ends of the wires being accessible from the inside region of the flange. The plastic material of the flange encapsulates at least a portion of body, the diode structure, and at least a portion of the terminals.
