A wire harness manufacturing method includes a conduction path inserting step of inserting one or a plurality of conduction paths from one end of a resin-made tubular exterior member to the other end thereof, and an exterior member working step of performing post-working on one or a plurality of parts of the exterior member, after the conduction path inserting step. The exterior member working step includes forming a convex-shaped part when viewed from an inner surface side of the exterior member by performing the post-working using heat on an outer surface side of the exterior member. The convex-shaped part is a vibration suppressing part to reduce a play rate of the conduction path in the exterior member and suppress a vibration of the conduction path.

A protective cover for the connector of a power cord is provided. The protective cover has a body that defines an enclosure for protectively housing the connector and any associated built-up portion, as well as the portion of the power cord that interfaces with the connector and/or built-up portion. The protective cover may have a filament extending therefrom to a cord ring that attaches to the power cord itself to act as a lanyard toggle. The protective cover may move between an open position and a closed position for receiving and protecting, respectively, the connector. The protective cover may also have elastic properties enabling it to elastically deform sufficiently to slide onto the connector, wherein a tapered hood of the protective cover shrouds the portion of the power cord that interfaces with the connector and/or built-up portion.

A protector includes: a first fixing part; a second fixing part; and a protector main body including a housing space that is positioned between the first fixing part and the second fixing part, and houses a first routing member and a second routing member. The housing space is configured with: at least a pair of opposing faces opposing to each other, and a connection face that connects the pair of opposing faces; and includes a first routing member housing space and a second routing member housing space. The second routing member housing space: is configured with at least the pair of opposing faces and the connection face; and houses the second routing member. The first routing member housing space: communicates with the second routing member housing space; is configured with a restriction groove provided in the connection face; and houses the first routing member.

A lighting system includes at least one lighting component and a signal carrier. The signal carrier includes an electrically insulative webbing, and a first electrical conductor and a second electrical conductor separated and spaced apart from each other by the electrically insulative webbing and extending in parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction. The first and second electrical conductors are disposed at least partially within the electrically insulative webbing. The at least one lighting component is mounted to the signal carrier via a slot passing through the electrically insulative webbing, wherein the at least one lighting component includes at least one light source and at least one coupler configured to extract power from the first and second electrical conductors without making an electrically conductive physical contact to the first and second electrical conductors.

A wire harness and an electric wire protecting pipe that can prevent holes from being formed by flying gravel while the vehicle is moving and includes a bending pipe portion that can be bent easily. The electric wire protecting pipe is a resin pipe into which electric wires are insertable, and includes a bending pipe portion that is easily bent and is provided with protruding portions and recessed portions that are alternately continuous with each other in an axial direction, and a straight pipe portion that is flat and is not easily bent in the axial direction. A thickness of a lower wall portion that is disposed on a lower side when the electric wire protecting pipe is attached to a vehicle is greater than a thickness of a left wall portion and a right wall portion.

A shielded conductor that prevents electrical corrosion from occurring in braided wires and a shield pipe. Separate from a shield pipe that is made of aluminium, a sub pipe that is tin-plated is provided, and an end-portion braided member that is tin-plated is connected to the sub pipe. The shield pipe and the sub pipe are connected by a braided relay member, and the connection portions between the pipes and the braided relay member are accommodated in a grommet in a state of being sealed. A rubber stopper for sealing a space between the sub pipe and the electrical wires (W) is fitted into the sub pipe.

An apparatus is designed to protect a connection between a plug of a first electrical cord and a socket of a second electrical cord from moisture. The apparatus consists of a first housing portion and a second housing portion that, when mated, form an interior region, a first aperture configured to receive the first electrical cord, and a second aperture configured to receive the second electrical cord. Four cross-wise portions are located in the interior region. The first and second cross-wise portions are attached to the first housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. The third and fourth cross-wise portions are attached to the second housing portion and are positioned proximate the first and second apertures, respectively. When the housing portions are mated, the first cross-wise portion abuts the third cross-wise portion and the second cross-wise portion abuts the fourth cross-wise portion.

An object of the present disclosure is to enable a wire and a refrigerant pipe to be mounted in a compact form in a vehicle. A temperature management system with a wire includes a refrigerant pipe through which a refrigerant for performing heat exchange in a heat exchange target device that is mounted in a vehicle passes and at a wire at least a portion of which extends along at least a portion of the refrigerant pipe.

Disclosed is a connecting harness that connects M first devices (where M is an integer equal to or greater than 1) and N second devices (where N is an integer equal to or greater than 2) using connecting cords each including at least one of an optical fiber cord and a metal cord. The connecting harness includes a connecting cord group including the M×N connecting cords, in which first connectors capable of being connected to the first devices are provided at one end of each of the connecting cords and second connectors capable of being connected to the second devices are provided at the other end of each of the connecting cords; a first bundling member bundling the connecting cords of the connecting cord group beside the first device in a predetermined number; and a second bundling member bundling the connecting cords of the connecting cord group beside the second device in a predetermined number. The connecting cord group is made into a harness in advance such that the connecting cords correspond to connection ports of the first devices and connection ports of the second devices using the first bundling member and the second bundling member.

A connector includes a first connector body and a second connector body configured to be coupled to one another. The first connector body has a through hole and a cavity. The through hole and the cavity are configured to receive a shield of a hardline coaxial cable. A first washer is disposed in the first connector body and is configured to permit the shield to be pushed in a first direction through the through hole and into the cavity while resisting movement of the shield in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The second connector body has a through hole and a cavity. The through hole and the cavity of the second connector body are configured to receive a tubular member. A second washer is disposed in the second connector body and is configured to permit the tubular member to be pushed in the second direction through the through hole of the second connector body and into the cavity of the second connector body while resisting movement of the tubular member in the first direction. The second connector body is rotatable relative to the second washer and the tubular member until the second connector body and the first connector body are coupled together to a predetermined degree of tightness.
