Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a braided wire ( 1 ) capable of suppressing disconnection of strands ( 2 ) caused by vibration, and a wire harness ( 3 ) in which the braided wire ( 1 ) is used. The braided wire ( 1 ) includes a plurality of the strands ( 2 ) that are braided. The braided wire ( 1 ) has a tubular shape. The strands ( 2 ) are each constituted by an aluminum wire or an aluminum alloy wire. The strand has a strand diameter of 0.25 mm or more and less than 0.34 mm. The wire harness ( 3 ) includes the braided wire ( 1 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A wire harness comprising: an electrical wire; a protective member covering an outer circumferential surface of the electrical wire; a connector connected to the electrical wire exposed from the protective member at a harness end portion; and a tubular braided wire that is fixed to an end portion of the protective member and an end portion of the connector, and that covers the outer circumferential surface of the electrical wire exposed from the protective member, wherein the braided wire includes a plurality of strands that are braided, wherein the strands are each constituted by an aluminum alloy wire having a chemical composition containing Al, and Mg in an amount of 0.1 mass % to 1.5 mass % inclusive, and Si in an amount of 0.03 mass % to 2.0 mass % inclusive, with a mass ratio between Mg and Si (Mg/Si) being 0.8 to 3.5 inclusive, and the strand has a strand diameter of 0.25 mm or more and less than 0.34 mm. 2. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the strand has a strand diameter of 0.26 mm to 0.335 mm inclusive. 3. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein the strand has a strand diameter of 0.26 mm to 0.304 mm inclusive. 4. The wire harness according to claim 1 , wherein a surface of the aluminum wire or the aluminum alloy wire does not have a surface treatment layer. 5. The wire harness according to claim 1 , the wire harness being configured to be connected to a vibration portion in the outside of an interior space of a vehicle.
