Wire tray for a wire harness assembly

摘要

A wire tray includes tray walls defining a tray channel configured to receive corresponding wires of a wire bundle. A wire cradle extends from a corresponding tray wall. The wire cradle has a cradle channel open to the tray channel having a wire exit at a front of the wire cradle. The wire cradle has a pocket and a protrusion aligned with the pocket on an opposite side of the cradle channel. The wire is routed in the cradle channel around the protrusion into the pocket to form at least two bends in the wire between the tray channel and the wire exit. The wire cradle includes a retention cap extending into the cradle channel that captures the wire in the cradle channel.
