ABSTRACT:
A wire harness for use on contoured, mounting surface includes individual wires bundled together. In an effort to protect these wires from mechanical wear, vibration, and water the wire harness is encased in foam. The foam is molded about the wire harness so that is surrounds the harness in the shape of the mounting surface. The foamed-in wire harness may have an elastic memory, so that it can be bent and resiliently recover to its molded shape.
