Abstract:
A flange structure (10′) for a fuel supply unit of a vehicle includes at least one electrically conductive fuel port (16′) having first and second ends (22, 24) and features (25, 26) defining a channel (28) about a periphery thereof. An elastomer seal (30) is disposed in the channel. A plastic flange (20′) is overmolded on at least a portion of the fuel port between the first and second ends and on at least a portion of the elastomer seal, with the elastomer seal defining a barrier preventing fuel or fuel vapor from passing between the periphery of the fuel port and the overmolded flange.
Abstract:
A housing for an electrical product having a cable for an electrical terminal includes a first housing shell and a second housing shell. A tension relief for the cable is embodied integrally with one of the two housing shells. This housing shell with the integrated tension relief is made from an electrical insulating material.
Abstract:
A flange structure (10′) for a fuel supply unit of a vehicle includes at least one electrically conductive fuel port (16′) having first and second ends (22, 24). A plastic flange (20′) is overmolded on at least a portion of the fuel port between the first and second ends. The flange is constructed and arranged to be coupled with a fuel tank of a vehicle. A welded connection (26) is provided between the fuel port and the plastic flange defining a barrier to prevent fuel or fuel vapor from passing between the periphery of the fuel port and the flange.
