  • Patent number: 6773164
    Abstract: A wheel-speed-sensor connector-plug bracket and a vehicle wheel bearing including such bracket. The bracket is adapted for removable attachment to a sensor ring of a wheel speed sensor of a vehicle wheel bearing, is adapted for attachment to a non-bearing vehicle component, and is adapted for attaching thereto a connector plug of the wheel speed sensor. The wheel bearing includes a vehicle-wheel-bearing non-rotatable section and a wheel speed sensor having a sensor ring assembly. The sensor ring assembly has a sensor ring attached to the non-rotatable section, a connector plug adapted for electrical connection to a vehicle computer cable, an electrical conductor, and a bracket. The electrical conductor electrically connects the sensor ring to the connector plug. The bracket is adapted for removable attachment to the sensor ring, and is adapted for attachment to a non-bearing vehicle component. The connector plug is attachable to the bracket.
