Abstract

An insulated conductor includes a conductor, and an insulation covering the conductor and formed of a resin composition. The resin composition includes more than 60% by weight of polybutylene naphthalate resin. The resin composition further includes a hydrogenated block copolymer that a block copolymer including a styrene and a diene system compound is saturated by hydrogenation, and at least one of a polyolefin and a compound including a glycidyl group. A method for manufacturing the insulated conductor includes forming on the conductor the insulation including the resin composition by extrusion in a range of 290° C. to 310° C.

Claims (32)

1 . An insulated conductor, comprising:

a conductor; and

an insulation covering the conductor and comprising a resin composition,

wherein the resin composition comprises more than 60% by weight of polybutylene naphthalate resin.

2 . The insulated conductor according to claim 1 , wherein:

the resin composition further comprises a hydrogenated block copolymer that a block copolymer comprising a styrene and a diene system compound is saturated by hydrogenation, and at least one of a polyolefin and a compound comprising a glycidyl group.

3 . An insulated conductor, comprising:

a conductor; and

an insulation covering the conductor and comprising a resin composition,

wherein the resin composition comprises more than 60% and not more than 100% by weight of polybutylene naphthalate resin, 0 to 20% by weight of a hydrogenated block copolymer that a block copolymer comprising a styrene and a diene system compound is saturated by hydrogenation, and 0 to 20% by weight of at least one of a polyolefin and a compound comprising a glycidyl group.

4 . The insulated conductor according to claim 2 , wherein:

the hydrogenated block copolymer comprises a PS-polyethylene/butylene-PS triblock copolymer.

5 . The insulated conductor according to claim 3 , wherein:

the hydrogenated block copolymer comprises a PS-polyethylene/butylene-PS triblock copolymer.

6 . The insulated conductor according to claim 2 , wherein:

the polyolefin comprises a low-density polyethylene, and

the compound comprising the glycidyl group comprises an ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer.

7 . The insulated conductor according to claim 3 , wherein:

the polyolefin comprises a low-density polyethylene, and

the compound comprising the glycidyl group comprises an ethylene-glycidyl methacrylate copolymer.

8 . The insulated conductor according to claim 1 , wherein:

the resin composition further comprises 5 to 40% by weight of a nitrogen-containing compound with respect to 100% by weight of the resin composition.

9 . The insulated conductor according to claim 3 , wherein:

the resin composition further comprises 5 to 40% by weight of a nitrogen-containing compound with respect to 100% by weight of the resin composition.

10 . The insulated conductor according to claim 1 , wherein:

the insulation comprises a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.3 mm.

11 . The insulated conductor according to claim 3 , wherein:

the insulation comprises a thickness of 0.01 mm to 0.3 mm.

12 . A method for manufacturing an insulated conductor, comprising:

forming on the conductor the insulation comprising the resin composition according to claim 1 by extrusion in a range of 290° C. to 310° C.

13 . A method for manufacturing an insulated conductor, comprising:

forming on the conductor the insulation comprising the resin composition according to claim 3 by extrusion in a range of 290° C. to 310° C.
