Sound Absorbing Part Made By Sumitomo Wiring Systems

This product, for preventing abnormal noise generation owing to interference between the harness and peripheral components, is attached to the part of the harness at which prevention of abnormal noise generation is required. It can be used at parts exposed to water in a similar way to EPDM foam for exterior use as well as urethane foam for interior use.

Properties

Made from crosslinked polyethylene material to exhibit a higher level of weather-resistance than current products, ensuring the maintenance of quality and function.
The use of independent foaming structure integrates two kinds of components, which have been selectively used depending on exposure to water, into a single unit.
　[Usage]
　Interior use (no exposure to water): Urethane foam,
　Exterior use (exposure to water) : EPDM foam
The use of the crosslinked polyethylene material and the independent foaming structure has achieved thinning and weight reduction while securing the same functions as those of current products.

Technology

・ Employed embossed surface pattern (see Figure) which secures easy winding operation to the harness (workability), and flexibility of the harness (assemblability with vehicle) after attachment.

・We determined the thickness suitable for space saving and weight reduction while securing the same functions as those of current products.
