Abstract

A distribution member includes plural electric wire pairs each including a pair of electric wires, a first fixing member integrally fixing the electric wire pairs, and a second fixing member that is separated from the first fixing member and integrally fixes electric wires of at least one of the electric wire pairs. The first fixing member and the second fixing member each include a holder holding the electric wires and a resin mold part that includes a molding resin and is molded so as to cover a part of the electric wire pairs held by the holder. The holder includes at least one interposed part that is interposed between the held electric wires. The distribution member further includes a combining part that is integrally formed with the holders of the first and second fixing members and combines the holders of the first and second fixing members.

Claims (21)

1. A wiring structure, comprising:

two electric wires;

a first holder comprising a first interposed part being provided between the two electric wires;

a second holder comprising a second interposed part being separated from the first holder and provided between the two electric wires; and

a combining part connecting between the first holder and the second holder and being located between the two electric wires,

wherein the first holder, the second holder, and the combining part are provided integrally, and

wherein the two electric wires in the first holder are covered with a first resin mold part comprising a molding resin and the two electric wires in the second holder are covered with a second resin mold part being separated from the first resin mold part and comprising a molding resin, while the two electric wires in the combining part are not covered with a molding resin.

2. The wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the first interposed part is provided over an entirety of a part covered by the first resin mold part.

3. The wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein the second interposed part is provided over an entirety of a part covered by the second resin mold part.

4. The wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole in an arrangement direction of the two electric wires is defined between the first interposed parts of the first holder, and

wherein the molding resin of the first resin mold part is filled in the through hole.

5. The wiring structure according to claim 1 , wherein a through hole in an arrangement direction of the two electric wires is defined between the second interposed part of the second holder, and

wherein the molding resin of the second resin mold part is filled in the through hole.

6. A wiring structure, comprising:

two electric wires;

a first holder comprising a first interposed part being provided between the two electric wires;

a second holder comprising a second interposed part being separated from the first holder and provided between the two electric wires; and

a combining part connecting between the first holder and the second holder and being located between the two electric wires,

wherein the first holder, the second holder, and the combining part are provided integrally,

wherein the width of the combining part is at least not less than 50% of the outer diameter of the electric wires, and

wherein a width of the combining part is not more than an outer diameter of the electric wires.
