Molded portion-equipped electric cable and method for manufacturing molded portion-equipped electric cable

A method for manufacturing a molded portion-equipped electric cable, the method comprising the steps of:

• connecting a terminal to an end portion of a linear conductor portion;
• molding a molded portion that covers a connecting portion between the linear conductor portion and the terminal such that the terminal protrudes from one end side of the molded portion and the linear conductor portion protrudes from an other end side of the molded portion, and has a first stepped portion that is formed such that the first stepped portion extends along an outer circumferential surface of the molded portion in a circumferential direction of the molded portion and a portion of the first stepped portion that is on the other end side protrudes so as to be present on an outer circumferential surface side relative to a portion of the first stepped portion that is on the one end side;
• shrinking a heat shrinkable tube such that an end portion of the shrunk heat shrinkable tube is hooked onto the first stepped portion so as to form a cover portion that covers over the molded portion and the linear conductor portion;
• and
• providing an adhesive portion that fills a gap between the cover portion and the molded portion.
