Abstract
A wire harness that includes a plurality of electrical wires; a relay connector provided with a common single tube having conductivity and through which the plurality of electrical wires are inserted; a plurality of braids respectively covering the plurality of electrical wires; and a coupler that couples the plurality of braids to the common single tube, in a state where ends of the plurality of braids are stacked in a layered manner around an entire circumference of the common single tube in a circumferential direction, wherein insertion holes that guide the plurality of electrical wires inside all of the braids are formed in the ends of the braids, and the plurality of electrical wires are electrically connected inside the relay connector.
Claims6
A wire harness comprising:
- a plurality of electrical wires;
- a relay connector provided with a common single tube having conductivity and through which the plurality of electrical wires are inserted;
- a plurality of braids respectively covering the plurality of electrical wires;
- and
- a coupler that couples the plurality of braids to the common single tube, in a state where ends of the plurality of braids are stacked in a layered manner around an entire circumference of the common single tube in a circumferential direction,
- wherein insertion holes that guide the plurality of electrical wires inside all of the braids are formed in the ends of the braids, and the plurality of electrical wires are electrically connected inside the relay connector, and
- wherein the end of a first braid of the plurality of braids is inserted inside the end of a second braid of the plurality of braids so that an end of the relay connector is within the ends of both the first braid and the second braid.
A wire harness comprising:
- a plurality of electrical wires;
- a plurality of braided members respectively covering the plurality of electrical wires;
- a tubular member that has conductivity and allows the plurality of electrical wires to be inserted in common;
- and
- a coupling member that couples the plurality of braided members and the tubular member,
- wherein a remaining braided member, excluding one braided member from among the plurality of braided members, is a first braided member,
- the one braided member is a second braided member,
- the second braided member has an insertion hole that guides the first braided member to the inside of the second braided member,
- the first braided member extends inside the second braided member from the insertion hole toward one end portion of the second braided member,
- the tubular member is inserted inside the plurality of braided members such that an outer peripheral surface of the end portion of the tubular member and an inner peripheral surface of one end portion of the first braided member are in contact with each other,
- in a state in which the second braided member, the first braided member, and the tubular member are stacked in a layered manner at one end portion side of the second braided member, the coupling member couples the braided member and the tubular member,
- each of the plurality of electrical wires is covered with a respective one of the plurality of braided members at a position farther, than the insertion hole, from one end portion of the second braided member, and
- the plurality of electrical wires are collectively covered with the second braided member and the first braided member at a position closer, than the insertion hole, to one end portion of the second braided member.
