PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric wire for an automobile for accomplishing both of improvement in tensile strength and reduction in a diameter. SOLUTION: This electric wire for an automobile is provided with a compressed conductor constructed by arranging a plurality of peripheral element wires formed of copper or a copper alloy around a single center element wire formed of stainless steel. The peripheral element wires surrounding the center element wire are arranged in a single layer to be brought into tight contact with each other. A cross sectional area of the conductor is 0.10-0.30 mm<SP>2</SP>, while a ratio C of the cross sectional area of the center element wire to that of the conductor is expressed by an expression äA/(A+B)}×100 [%]. In this expression, A represents the cross sectional area of the center element wire, while B represents the sum of the cross sectioanl areas of the peripheral element wires. The ratio C ranges from 19.6% to 33.3%. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
