Abstract: A protector made of a hollow plate material is externally fitted to an electric wire arranged at a position at which a load is exerted. A protector-equipped electric wire is provided with an electric wire arranged at a position at which a load is exerted, and a protector externally fitted to the electric wire. The protector is made of a folded hollow plate material, the hollow plate material including a plurality of plate-shaped portions, and interposed portions that are arranged extending in one direction between the plurality of plate-shaped portions and form hollow spaces between the plurality of plate-shaped portions, the protector including a plurality of wall portions that covers the electric wire. The plurality of wall portions including at least one load bearing wall portion that is arranged so that the direction in which the interposed portions extend corresponds to a direction in which the load is exerted.

Abstract: The present invention provides a conductive paste, which is suitable for forming and protecting a circuit, an electrode and the like and is capable of connecting electrodes of a plurality of circuit boards in a short time, a circuit board, a circuit article excellent in moisture and heat resistance and the like, and a method for producing the circuit article. The present conductive paste comprises a conductive material that is scaly, has a mean particle diameter of 1 ?m or more and 10 ?m or less, and is at least one material selected from the group consisting of Ag, an Ag alloy, an Ag-coated material, and an Ag alloy-coated material, and a resin having a storage modulus at 25° C. of 100 MPa or more. The present circuit board (1?) is provided with a substrate (11) and an electrode (12) formed at least on one side of the substrate (11) using the above conductive paste. On the surface of the electrode (12), an adhesive insulating area composed of a composition having a storage modulus at 25° C.

Abstract: A method of assembling complex wire harnesses wherein sub-assemblies of relatively simple circuits are made, terminals attached to the ends of each circuit, and the terminals are inserted into connectors. Each circuit is tested for integrity and, thereafter, the various circuits are placed together on a positioning board and bound with tape.
