Abstract: A guide wire having a conductive portion coated with an insulating film without impairing mobility of a diaphragm. The diaphragm and the conductive portion are on a surface perpendicularly intersecting with an axial line direction. A guide wire main body has a housing having an internal space with a pressure sensor therein. The pressure sensor includes a sensor main body having a distal end surface perpendicularly intersecting with an axial direction of the guide wire main body and facing a distal end, a diaphragm located on the distal end surface, resistive bodies each having a variable electrical resistance value by being deformed together with the diaphragm, terminals connected to the resistive bodies, conductive wires attached to the terminals with solder. Insulating films is formed by electrodeposition coating on a portion of the terminals, solder, and conductive wires.

Abstract: A guide wire in which a housing of a sensor is easy to be curved and a slit is hard to fracture. The guide wire includes a core wire, a first helical body, a second helical body, a housing attached to the first helical body and the second helical body, and a pressure sensor located in an internal space of the housing. The housing has slits penetrating a peripheral wall and extending in helices. One of the slits has a central portion extending in the helix in an extending direction and an end portion bent with respect to the central portion along a bending direction.
