WIRE HARNESS

摘要

A wire harness and its external component with excellent routing operability and capable of achieving a reduction in the number of types of materials of members to be mounted on a wire or a bundle of wires (=capable of achieving commonality of materials of the members) is provided. An exterior component 11a provided so as to cover a certain part of a wire 12 or a bundle of wires 12 is provided. The exterior component 11a has parts having different hardness, the parts including a relatively hard first part 111a, a relatively soft second part 112a, and a third part 113a having an intermediate hardness between that of the first part 111a and the second part 112a. The first part is formed on a surface of the exterior component and has a function as a shape keeping member and a protector, and the second part 112a and the third part 113a surround the certain part of the wire 12 or the bundle of wires 12 and each have a function as a cushioning material and a muffler/soundproofing material. The first part 111a, the second part 112a, and the third part 113a are formed integrally from a non-woven fabric 2 with thermo plasticity.
