Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A wire harness ( 9 ) includes an exterior member ( 16 ) with a tubular shape which covers a high-voltage conductive path ( 15 ), and a drain hole ( 27 ) is formed in the exterior member ( 16 ). The drain hole ( 27 ) is covered with a clamp ( 20 ), that is, a post-installed member in a state that the function of the drain hole is ensured. The clamp ( 20 ) includes a tube attachment portion ( 32 ), and the tube attachment portion ( 32 ) includes a drain function ensuring portion ( 34 ). A gap ( 35 ) is formed between the drain hole ( 27 ) and the clamp ( 20 ). A foreign substance entry preventing portion ( 36 ) is formed in a side of the gap ( 35 ) in a vehicle progress direction P. An outside communication hole ( 37 ) is formed in an opposite side in the vehicle progress direction P.
