The present disclosure relates to a wire harness.
Conventionally, wire harnesses used for vehicles such as hybrid cars and electric automobiles are routed under the floor of vehicles or the like in some cases. Further, there are cases where such a wire harness includes a plurality of wires and a metal outer cover member that is configured to individually accommodate these wires and serves as a plurality of electromagnetic shielding members, for example (e.g., see JP 2005-44607A). With such a wire harness, it is possible to obtain a high electromagnetic shielding effect due to the metal outer cover member.
However, the above-described wire harness is problematic in that the wire harness has a large overall cross-sectional area in a direction that is orthogonal to the direction in which the wire harness extends because the wires are accommodated with gaps interposed between the outer cover member and the wires, for example. Also, even when a braided member obtained by braiding metal wires is adopted as an electromagnetic shielding member and fitted around the wires, instead of the metal outer cover member, gaps are present between metal wires constituting the braided member. Thus, such a configuration is problematic in that the thickness thereof increases when attempts are made to ensure a high electromagnetic shielding effect, resulting an increase in the overall cross-sectional area in the direction orthogonal to the direction in which the wire harness extends.
An exemplary aspect of the disclosure provides a wire harness that can achieve a size reduction and ensure a high electromagnetic shielding effect.
