Abstract

A conductive member to be routed in a vehicle includes a pipe member being tubular in shape and capable of keeping a shape, a core wire connected to an end portion of the pipe member and having flexibility, a connector terminal connected to an end portion of the core wire on a side that is opposite to the pipe member, and a corrugated tube covering the pipe member and the core wire and having flexibility.

Claims (14)

1. A conductive member to be routed in a vehicle, the conductive member comprising:

at least one tube-shaped conductor being tubular in shape and having at least one bending point, the tube-shaped conductor is capable of keeping a shape;

a flexible conductor connected to an end portion of the tube-shaped conductor and having flexibility, the tube-shaped conductor is longer in length than the flexible conductor;

a terminal connected to an end portion of the flexible conductor on a side that is opposite to the tube-shaped conductor; and

a sheathing member covering the tube-shaped conductor and the flexible conductor and having flexibility.

2. The conductive member according to claim 1 ,

wherein the tube-shaped conductor includes a plurality of tube-shaped portions, and

the conductive member comprises a coupling member having flexibility and conductivity and coupling the plurality of tube-shaped portions.

3. The conductive member according to claim 1 ,

wherein an end portion of the flexible conductor on the tube-shaped conductor side is inserted into the tube-shaped conductor.

4. The conductive member according to claim 1 , the conductive member comprising:

a plurality of the tube-shaped conductors;

a shielding member covering at least the plurality of tube-shaped conductors and having flexibility; and

an insulating layer interposed between the plurality of tube-shaped conductors and the shielding member.
