A wire harness including: a wire; a positioning member that is made of a synthetic resin and is provided on an outer circumference of the wire; a ring-shaped electromagnetic wave absorber that has a through hole through which the wire passes and is fixed to the positioning member; and a fixing member for fixing the positioning member to the wire, wherein: the positioning member includes a main body including an insertion portion inserted in the through hole, and a fixing portion protruding from the main body to an outside of the through hole, and the fixing member is formed so as to fasten the wire and the fixing portion to each other.

A waterproof unit including: a first waterproof tube that has a tubular shape and is to be attached to a through hole of a vehicle body panel disposed between a waterproof area that requires waterproofing and a non-waterproof area that does not require waterproofing; a second waterproof tube that has a tubular shape and is to be disposed in the non-waterproof area so as to be spaced apart from the first waterproof tube; and a first exterior tube that has a tubular shape, is disposed between the first waterproof tube and the second waterproof tube, and is coupled to the first waterproof tube and the second waterproof tube, wherein the first exterior tube has higher flexural rigidity than the first waterproof tube to be kept from coming into contact with the first waterproof tube when the waterproof unit is bent in the non-waterproof area.

A wire harness including: an electric wire including a core wire and an insulating cover that covers the core wire; and a tube that surrounds the electric wire, wherein: the electric wire further includes a covered portion in which the core wire is covered by the insulating cover, and an exposed portion in which the core wire is exposed from the insulating cover, the exposed portion includes a bend that is bent so as to protrude in a direction orthogonal to a length direction of the core wire, and the bend is provided outside of the tube.

A wire harness including: an electric wire; and a tube that surrounds the electric wire, wherein: the electric wire includes: a first electric wire portion including a core wire and an insulating cover that covers the core wire, and a second electric wire portion connected to a lengthwise end of the core wire, the second electric wire portion includes a flexible portion having a higher flexibility than the first electric wire portion, the flexible portion includes a bend that is bent so as to protrude in a direction orthogonal to a length direction of the second electric wire portion, and the bend is provided outside of the tube.

A cable distributor for individual cables that are shielded by an electrically conductive shield. The cable distributor has an electrically insulating outer housing, which receives a connection piece at which at least two individual cables are connected to each another. The shields of the connected individual cables are connected to each other by means of an electrically conductive shield housing, as a result of which a continuous shielding of the current-carrying parts of the cable distributor is achieved. A method for producing such a cable distributor is also proposed.

A pin terminal includes a bar-like base material and a plating layer covering a predetermined region of the base material. A constituent material of the base material is pure copper or a copper alloy. The plating layer includes a tin-based layer made of metal containing tin. One end side of the base material includes a tip covering portion. The tin-based layer includes the tip covering portion. The tip covering portion covers an entire region in a circumferential direction on the one end side of the base material. A difference (t.sub.1−t.sub.2) between a maximum value t.sub.1 and a minimum value t.sub.2 of a thickness of the tip covering portion measured at a measurement location set at a spot of 1 mm from one end of the pin terminal along a longitudinal direction of the pin terminal is 0.20 μm or more.

A composite wiring includes: elastic wiring comprising an elastic tube, a conductor wire disposed inside the tube, and fixing portions that fix the conductor wire and the tube together at both ends of the tube in the lengthwise direction thereof, the length of the conductor wire between the fixing portions when the tube is in an unextended state being longer than the length of the tube between the fixing portions; other wiring separate from the elastic wiring; and a connection member that connects the conductor wire of the elastic wiring and a conductor wire of the other wiring by caulking in a state of being brought into contact with each other, the connection member having an interior section sealed in a watertight manner with a sealing material.
