Abstract
A wire harness includes a cable that includes electric wires and a sheath covering the electric wires and is arranged so that the electric wires are exposed from an end of the sheath, a housing that accommodates the electric wires exposed from the end of the sheath, a sealing member arranged inside the housing, and a cylindrical holder including an elastic body and having an inner circumferential surface in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the sheath. An engaging portion provided on one of the housing and the holder engages an engaged portion provided on an other of the housing and the holder. The engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion restricts the housing from moving in a longitudinal direction of the cable.

A wire harness, comprising:
- a cable that comprises electric wires and a sheath covering the electric wires and is arranged so that the electric wires are exposed from an end of the sheath;
- a housing that accommodates the electric wires exposed from the end of the sheath;
- a sealing member arranged inside the housing;
- and
- a cylindrical holder comprising an elastic body and having a first inner circumferential surface in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the sheath and a second inner circumferential surface accommodating the housing and being in contact with an outer circumferential surface of the housing,
- wherein an engaging portion provided on one of the housing and the holder engages an engaged portion provided on an other of the housing and the holder, and
- wherein an engagement between the engaging portion and the engaged portion restricts the housing from moving in a longitudinal direction of the cable.
