Wiring module, wiring-module intermediary body and method for manufacturing wiring module

A wiring-module intermediary body, comprising:

• an insulating protector made of insulating synthetic resin;
• and
• a plurality of wires routed in the insulating protector,
• wherein:
• the insulating protector includes a wire routing section in which the wires are routed, the wire routing section includes a placement wall having a placement surface on which the plurality of wires are placed, the placement wall is formed with a projecting section projecting from the placement surface and a wire mounting section having the plurality of wires mounted thereon via a flexible hinge section is formed on a tip of the projecting section;
• the wires are mounted on the wire mounting section with the wire mounting section oriented to extend in a direction along the placement surface;
• the wire mounting section is oriented to extend in a direction intersecting with the placement surface by bending the hinge section after the wires are mounted on the wire mounting section.

A method for manufacturing a wiring module to be mounted on a power storage element group with a plurality of power storage elements, comprising:

• forming an insulating protector with a wire routing section including a placement wall having a placement surface on which a plurality of wires are to be placed, a projecting section projecting from the placement surface of the placement wall and a wire mounting section formed on a tip of the projecting section and having the plurality of wires mounted thereon via a flexible hinge section;
• placing the plurality of wires on the placement wall of the wire routing section;
• mounting the plurality of wires on the wire mounting section with the wire mounting section oriented to extend in a direction along the placement surface;
• and
• orienting the wire mounting section to extend in a direction intersecting with the placement surface by bending the hinge section after the plurality of wires are mounted on the wire mounting section.
