  • Publication number: 20220282009
    Abstract: It is aimed to provide a wiring harness excellent in the deep curability of a part covered with a water blocking material. In a wiring harness in which an exposed conductor part of an insulated wire is covered with a water blocking material, the water blocking material is a cured product of a photocurable composition containing a photocurable resin and a photopolymerization initiator, and a content of the photopolymerization initiator in the photocurable composition is 0.2 parts by mass or more and 2.0 parts by mass or less based on 100 parts by mass of the photocurable resin.

  • Publication number: 20220254546
    Abstract: It is aimed to provide a wiring harness excellent in the waterproof performance of a part covered with a water blocking member also under a high temperature environment, a low temperature environment and a cold heat environment. In a wiring harness (10) in which an exposed conductor part (7) of an insulated wire (1, 2, 3) is covered with a water blocking member (8), the water blocking member (8) is a cured product of a composition containing a urethane (meth)acrylate and has two or more glass transition points.

  • Patent number: 11148619
    Abstract: A wire harness including: a wire that includes a conductor and an insulating covering that covers an outer circumference of the conductor, and that includes an exposed portion at which the conductor is exposed from the insulating covering; and a waterproofing cover that integrally covers the exposed portion and an outer surface of the insulating covering with a resin material, wherein a covering length, which is a length of a region in which the waterproofing cover covers the insulating covering, is greater than or equal to a length at which a maximum thermal stress at an edge of the waterproofing cover that is in contact with the insulating covering is equal to an adhesive strength of the resin material with respect to the insulating covering.
