Abstract

A complex harness for vehicle, including power wires for an electric brake or an electric parking brake, each of the power wires comprising a first center conductor and a first insulation that covers the first center conductor, an ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) sensor cable comprising signal wires contacting each other and an inner sheath comprising a thermoplastic resin and covering the signal wires, each of the signal wires comprising a second center conductor and a second insulation that covers the second center conductor and having a cross section smaller than a cross section of each of the power wires, a separator collectively covering the power wires and the ABS sensor cable and comprising a paper, a non-woven fabric, or a resin tape, and an outer sheath covering the separator.

Claims (19)

1. A complex harness for vehicle, comprising:

power wires for an electric brake or an electric parking brake, each of the power wires comprising a first center conductor and a first insulation that covers the first center conductor;

an ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) sensor cable comprising signal wires contacting each other and an inner sheath comprising a thermoplastic resin and covering the signal wires, each of the signal wires comprising a second center conductor and a second insulation that covers the second center conductor and having a cross section smaller than a cross section of each of the power wires;

a separator collectively covering the power wires and the ABS sensor cable and comprising a paper, a non-woven fabric, or a resin tape; and

an outer sheath covering the separator,

wherein the inner sheath enters in a space between the signal wires and contacts the power wires,

wherein the power wires are extended from an end of the outer sheath,

wherein the ABS sensor cable is extended from the end of the outer sheath in a state where the signal wires are covered by the inner sheath,

wherein a connector configured to be connected to the electric brake or the electric parking brake is provided at ends of the power wires to be separated from the end of the outer sheath,

wherein a sensor head is provided at one end of the ABS sensor cable as a separate body from the connector to be separated from the end of the outer sheath.

2. The complex harness for vehicle, according to claim 1 , wherein the power wires contact each other.

3. The complex harness for vehicle, according to claim 2 , wherein the first center conductor has a cross section larger than a cross section of the second center conductor, and

wherein the first insulator has a thickness larger than a thickness of the second insulator.

4. The complex harness for vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the power wires are configured in such a manner that portions extended from the end of the outer sheath are protected by a protective member.

5. The complex harness for vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the power wires are configured in such a manner that portions extended from the end of the outer sheath are protected by a protective member.

6. The complex harness for vehicle, according to claim 1 , wherein the first center conductor has a cross section larger than a cross section of the second center conductor, and

wherein the first insulator has a thickness larger than a thickness of the second insulator.

7. The complex harness for vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the power wires are configured in such a manner that portions extended from the end of the outer sheath are protected by a protective member.

8. The complex harness for vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the power wires are configured in such a manner that portions extended from the end of the outer sheath are protected by a protective member.
