Abstract
A holding device for a cable harness is designed in such a way that the cable harness, which is attached on one side to a printed circuit board, remains undamaged during transportation of the printed circuit board to a final assembly location. A plug connector attached to the printed circuit board has dome-shaped latching elements, and a unit plug attached to a free other end of the cable harness has corresponding counter latching elements as direct parts of the holding device. By snapping the counter latching elements onto the latching elements, the unit plug is attached to the plug connector, and the holding device for the cable harness is closed. At the final assembly location, the counter latching elements are nondestructively detached from the latching elements by pulling the unit plug off of the plug connector, and the holding device is reopened from the secured transport position for the cable harness. The holding device is preferably intended for use in the automobile industry.
