Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wire harness capable of combining low voltage wires and high-voltage wires without using shielded wires. The harness is provided with high-voltage wires, which are passed through a pipe possessing shielding properties and shape retention properties, and a low voltage wire, in which a shape-retaining conductor that runs parallel to the pipe and possesses electrically conductive properties and shape retention properties is encased by an insulating member. The low voltage wire is placed on the outside of the pipe and, as a result, the low voltage wire is not affected by the electromagnetic noise of the high voltage wires, which makes it possible to combine the high-voltage wires and the low voltage wire.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wire harness, comprising: a high voltage wire that is passed through a pipe having shielding properties and shape retention properties, and a low voltage wire in which a shape-retaining conductor that runs parallel to the pipe and has electrically conductive properties and shape retention properties is encased by an insulating member. 2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein, in a section routed under the floor of a vehicle upon securing to the body of a vehicle, the lower end of the pipe is located in a position that is relatively lower than the lower end of the low voltage wire. 3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , further comprising: a clamp that holds the pipe and the low voltage wire in place while being secured to a vehicle body, and the clamp is provided with an engagement pawl engageable with a fixed portion protruding from the vehicle body.
