Abstract
A harness for a vehicle, configured to be attachable to a vehicle body, includes a cable including a plurality of electric wires, each of which includes a center conductor and an insulation that covers the center conductor, a separator including a paper, a non-woven fabric, or a resin tape that covers and contacts with the plurality of electric wires, and an outer sheath that covers the separator, a rubber member provided along a longitudinal direction of a part of the cable, and a fixing member for attaching the cable to the vehicle body. The fixing member is attached to an outer surface of the outer sheath through the rubber member.
Claims18
A harness for a vehicle, configured to be attachable to a vehicle body, the harness comprising:
- a cable comprising a plurality of electric wires, each of which comprises a center conductor and an insulation that covers the center conductor, and an outer sheath that comprises a thermoplastic urethane and covers the plurality of electric wires;
- a rubber member provided along a longitudinal direction of a part of the cable, the rubber member including ethylene propylene diene rubber;
- and
- a fixing member for attaching the cable to the vehicle body,
- wherein the fixing member is attached to an outer surface of the outer sheath through the rubber member,
- wherein the plurality of electric wires includes two first electric wires that are free of a shield conductor and two second electric wires each having a cross-sectional area smaller than a cross-sectional area of each of the two first electric wires,
- wherein the two second electric wires are in contact with each other,
- wherein a cross-sectional area of the center conductor of the first electric wire is larger than a cross-sectional area of the second electric wire,
- wherein the two first electric wires are in contact with each other,
- wherein the two second electric wires are collectively covered by an inner sheath together, and
- wherein a part of the inner sheath is disposed in a space between the two first electric wires contacting with each other.
