THERMAL SLEEVE WITH REFLECTIVE POSITIONING MEMBER, ASSEMBLY THEREWITH AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF

摘要

A thermal sleeve for protecting an electronic member connected to a wiring harness against exposure to heat is provided. The thermal sleeve has a tubular member including a circumferentially continuous wall with an inner surface bounding an inner cavity extending along a central axis between open opposite ends and a reflective outer surface. The thermal sleeve includes a positioning member constructed of a separate piece of material from the tubular member. The positioning member has a circumferentially continuous, tubular portion and at least one resilient flange extending radially inwardly from the tubular portion for abutment with the wiring harness. The tubular portion has a plurality of tangs extending radially therefrom. The tangs are fixedly disposed in the wall of the tubular member to inhibit relative rotational and/or axial movement between the tubular member and the positioning device.
