Abstract
A wire harness including: a plurality of wires each including a core wire whose transverse cross-sectional shape is a flat shape, and an insulating sheath covering an outer circumference of the core wire; a plurality of outer covers into which the plurality of wires are inserted respectively, wherein the outer covers are independent of each other and each have a flat tubular shape; and a clamp that is attached to an outer circumferential surface of the outer covers and that fix the outer covers to a vehicle body.
Claims8
A wire harness comprising:
- a plurality of wires each including a core wire whose transverse cross-sectional shape is a flat shape, and an insulating sheath covering an outer circumference of the core wire;
- a plurality of outer covers, each one into which a respective one of the plurality of wires are inserted, wherein the outer covers are independent of each other and each have a flat tubular shape;
- a clamp that is attached to outer circumferential surfaces of the outer covers and that fixes the outer covers to a vehicle body;
- and
- for each of the ones of the plurality of wires:
- a protective tube that encloses an outer circumference of the insulating sheath and is formed by reinforced fibers;
- a tubular electromagnetic shield enclosing an outer circumference of the protective tube;
- and
- a conductive tube having an outer circumferential surface to which an end of the electromagnetic shield is connected, wherein:
- an end of the protective tube is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the conductive tube by a first link member in a state in which the end of the protective tube is held between the conductive tube and the electromagnetic shield, and
- an end of the electromagnetic shield covers an end surface of the end of the protective tube, and is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the conductive tube by a second link member in a state in which the end of the electromagnetic shield is in direct contact with the outer circumferential surface of the conductive tube.
