  • Patent number: 11052837
    Abstract: A wire harness is provided. The wire harness includes a connector holder, a connector held in the connector holder, and an electric wire extending from the connector toward a predetermined routing direction. The electric wire is to be held at a predetermined attachment position on an outer wall surface of the connector such that the electric wire extends toward the routing direction passing through the attachment position. The attachment position is configured to be changeable to a plurality of different positions according to the routing direction.

  • Patent number: 10988090
    Abstract: A wire harness system having a wire harness and a connection unit is provided. The connection unit includes a circuit network configuring a part of circuit lines for realizing selectively added specification in the wire harness. Selection circuit lines of an optional sub-harness branched from the trunk line of the wire harness are connected to the circuit network of the connection unit. Thus, connection or disconnection between the selection circuit lines and switching of connection among branches or the like of the selection circuit lines can be easily realized by changing the circuit network of the connection unit.

  • Patent number: 10741978
    Abstract: A wire harness includes at least two electrical wires, and a connection unit via which each of the at least two electrical wires are connected. The connection unit includes a circuit board connected to the at least two electrical wires, and a conductor member extending downward from the circuit board, the conductor member being electrically connected to a ground pattern on the circuit board. The connection unit is attached to a vehicle body in a state where the conductor member is in contact with a grounding conductor formed on the vehicle body when the connection unit is disposed on the vehicle body. Therefore, the circuit board can be directly connected to the ground via the conductor member only by disposing the connection unit on the vehicle body.
