An assembly includes an elastic protection sleeve (211); two tubular cores (212, 212) for holding the sleeve (211) expanded; for each tubular core (212, 212), a slide film (213, 213) placed between the sleeve (211) and the each core (212, 212), to enable each core to slide relative to the sleeve; and a device (30) for holding the two cores (212, 212) in order for them to be able to move apart from each other, from the initial state in which they are end to end, until they are apart at most by a predetermined distance at which the inside diameter of the sleeve (211) between the first ends (217, 217) is at least similar to the inside diameter of the cores (212, 212), whereby the assembly (210A) with the two cores (212, 212) thus apart can still be repositioned.

A method for manufacturing a terminal-equipped electric wire includes a step of crimping a terminal to one end of an electric wire, a step of crimping another terminal to the other end of the electric wire, and a waterproofing step of providing a sealing member at the other end of the electric wire so as to fill gaps between conductive element wires of an element wire bundle. The waterproofing step includes, in this order, a step of applying a resin to the element wire bundle to block at least a part of an inner portion of a tubular insulating sheath, a step of waiting during curing of the resin or until the curing is completed, and a step of applying the moisture curable resin to the element wire bundle, blocking a remaining portion of the inner portion of the insulating sheath, and curing the resin.

A water-proof structure for electric wire includes an electric wire, a primary molded body, and a secondary molded body. The electric wire includes a core wire exposed part in which a core wire is exposed by peeling off an insulation sheath. The primary molded body is molded with resin and includes a groove portion for receiving therein an end portion of the electric wire including the core wire exposed part. The secondary molded body is molded with resin and covers the primary molded body in a state where the end portion of the electric wire is received in the groove portion.

A method for manufacturing a conductor part for a connector unit is provided. The conductor part includes a conductive core, an insulating sleeve, and at least a first conductive layer arranged between the conductive core and the insulating sleeve. The method includes equipping at least one section of a radially inner surface of the insulating sleeve with the first conductive layer, and equipping at least one section of a radially outer surface of the insulating sleeve with at least a second conductive layer. The second conductive layer is a metal layer or a conductive plastic layer. The method also includes inserting the conducting core in the insulating sleeve before or after equipping a surface of the insulating sleeve with a conductive layer.

A wire harness manufacturing system includes an assembly line that manufactures a wire harness and one or a plurality of supply devices that prepares to supply component magazines in which components of the wire harness are loaded in a holder to the assembly line. Each of the supply devices is capable of preparing a plurality of the component magazines which are different according to types of the components. The component magazines are capable of delivering from the supply devices to at least a part of the series of assembly steps in a state of being independent of both the assembly line and the supply device.

Conductor cover applicators may define a mouth, or may incorporate movable jaws that open and close a mouth, for receiving a cable. The applicators may have a separator for spreading open a conductor cover, so that the cover can be fed through the applicator onto the cable. Methods of use and other variations are disclosed.

The present invention relates to a non-metallic light conductive wire, a composite conductive wire, a special cable, a motor and the like application products made of the conductive wire, and a method of making the composite conductive wire.

Provided are devices, methods and systems. A cover system may include a unitary cold shrinkable, tubular, elastomeric cover sleeve defining a cover sleeve through passage that is configured to receive the electrical cable. The cover sleeve may include a first type of stress control element and a second type of stress control element that is different from the first type of stress control element. A holdout maintains the cover sleeve in an expanded state in which the cover sleeve is elastically expanded and when removed, permits the cover sleeve to radially contract to a contracted state about the electrical cable. The first type of stress control element includes a geometric stress cone that includes an electrically conductive and/or semiconductive portion that is configured to conductively engage a semiconductor layer of the electrical cable. The second type of stress control element includes a high-K stress relief element.
