ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR MOUNTING STRUCTURE

An electrical connector mounting structure enables attachment of a wiring harness to a panel of a vehicle. The mounting structure includes a base portion having a first-side and a second-side opposite the first side. A first-side wall is connected to the base portion and positioned on the base portion first side. Another first-side wall is connected to the base portion and positioned on the base portion first side opposite the first-side wall. A second-side wall extends from the base portion second side. Another second-side wall extends from the base portion second side opposite the second-side wall. The mounting structure enables a connector terminating the wires of a wire harness to be mounted directly to a panel of a vehicle without additional attachment hardware using mating features already present on the connector assembly, and also enables the length of an attached wire harness to be minimized.
