A wire harness which electrically connects high-voltage devices includes a conductive path that is used as a trunk cable, a branch cable that branches from the trunk cable, and a branch connecting portion which connects the trunk cable with the branch cable, wherein the trunk cable has a trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the trunk cable lying in a predetermined position of the trunk cable is removed, the branch cable has a branch cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the branch cable lying a predetermined position of the branch cable is removed, the trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion is connected with the branch cable-side conductor exposed portion at the branch connecting portion, and the branch connecting portion has an insulating and waterproofing portion which functions as an insulating portion and a waterproofing portion.
1. A wire harness which electrically connects high-voltage devices comprising:
a conductive path that is used as a trunk cable;
a branch cable that branches from the trunk cable; and
a branch connecting portion which connects the trunk cable with the branch cable,
wherein the trunk cable has a trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the trunk cable lying in a predetermined position of the trunk cable is removed,
the branch cable has a branch cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the branch cable lying a predetermined position of the branch cable is removed,
the trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion is connected with the branch cable-side conductor exposed portion at the branch connecting portion, and
the branch connecting portion has an insulating and waterproofing portion which functions as an insulating portion and a waterproofing portion,
wherein the insulating and waterproofing portion is configured to fill spaces around circumferences of the branch connecting portion with resin in a watertight fashion and setting the resin such that the branch connecting portion is embedded in set resin molds forming the insulating and waterproofing portion.
2. A wire harness which electrically connects high-voltage devices comprising:
a conductive path that is used as a trunk cable;
a branch cable that branches from the trunk cable;
a branch connecting portion which connects the trunk cable with the branch cable; and
a shielding member,
wherein the trunk cable has a trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the trunk cable lying in a predetermined position of the trunk cable is removed,
the branch cable has a branch cable-side conductor exposed portion where a cover of the branch cable lying a predetermined position of the branch cable is removed,
the trunk cable-side conductor exposed portion is connected with the branch cable-side conductor exposed portion at the branch connecting portion,
the branch connecting portion has an insulating and waterproofing portion which functions as an insulating portion and a waterproofing portion, and
the shielding member covers the insulating and waterproofing portion to shield the insulating and waterproofing portion.
