Abstract
A conductor-equipped conductive thin film sheet 1 includes a conductive thin film sheet 2 and a metallic piece 8. The conductive thin film sheet 2 is composed of a conductive layer 4 and an insulating layer 7. The metallic piece 8 is superposed on the insulating layer 7 and is partially bonded to the conductive layer 4 by ultrasonic welding. In this configuration, when the sheet is wound around an electric wire, noise can be surely dissipated. A shield harness using the conductive thin film is also disclosed.
