Protector and wire harness
A protector and a wire harness that have piercing resistance, give shielding capability to the protector, enable reducing the number of man-hours in human labor, and are low cost. In the protector, foaming urethane layers that have a predetermined thickness and contain a high magnetic permeability metal powder are respectively formed on a recessed surface portion of a protector main body and an inner surface portion of a cover portion, and foil films are respectively formed on an outer surface portion of the protector main body and an outer surface portion of the cover portion. The wire harness is formed by using the cover portion to close the opening portion of the recessed surface portion of the protector main body in which a group of electrical lines is inserted and accommodated. Pieces of adhesive tape are wrapped around the protector main body and the cover portion to fasten them.
1. A protector comprising:
a protector main body that is made of a synthetic resin and has a groove-shaped recessed surface portion in which a group of electrical lines is to be accommodated, a foil film being formed on an outer surface portion of the protector main body; and
a cover portion that is made of a synthetic resin and closes the recessed surface portion of the protector main body, a foil film being formed on an outer surface portion of the cover portion,
wherein a foaming urethane layer having a predetermined thickness and containing a high magnetic permeability metal powder is formed on at least the recessed surface portion of the protector main body.
2. The protector according to claim 1 , wherein a foaming urethane layer having a predetermined thickness and containing a high magnetic permeability metal powder is formed on an inner surface portion of the cover portion as well.
3. A wire harness comprising:
a group of electrical lines partially bound at a plurality of locations using adhesive tape; and
the protector according to claim 1 ,
wherein by performing heating to a predetermined high temperature in a state in which the group of electrical lines is accommodated in a recessed portion of the protector main body and the cover portion is held in a closed state, the foaming urethane layer expands and fills in a region surrounding the group of electrical lines in the protector.
