Insulated wire

Abstract

Provided is an insulation wire with which both protection from impacts and space-saving can be achieved. An insulation wire 1 comprises: a core wire 10 including a conductor 11 and an insulation coating 12 that is made of an insulation material and that coats the outer periphery of the conductor; and a protection layer 20 configured by a wire material of a higher strength than that of the insulation material forming the insulation coating 12, the wire material surrounding the outer periphery of the core wire 10 by intersecting the axial direction A of the core wire 10. The wire material that constitutes the protection layer 20 bites into the surface of the insulation coating 12. Alternatively, the protection layer 20 is adhered to the surface of the insulation coating 12 with an adhesive force of 0.014 N/mm2 or more.
