  • Patent number: 5598627
    Abstract: A wire harness includes a main circuit part 1 including an insulated conductor wiring circuit plate 3 in which conductors 8 are arranged on a base insulation film 9 to form a wiring circuit by turning, bowing, crossing, or branching the conductors and covered with a flexible insulation film 12. Further, a branched connection part 2 is provided including a printed circuit plate 4 connected to a connecting area 14A in the main circuit part 1 through a connecting area 14B formed thereon and adapted to receive leading electrical wires 5. The conductor wiring circuit plate 30 is a flexible circuit plate which has an insulation base film 33, conductors 31 juxtaposed on the base film, an upper coverlet film 32, and a connecting area 36 for the conductors 31 having an adhesive layer 37 on the back side of the film 32. The connecting area 36 is formed by removing a predetermined width 38 of the base film 33 along the lateral direction of the coverlet film 32.
