Wire module and method of producing same
First Claim
1. A wire module, comprising:
- a terminal-assembled wire member including a wire and at least two terminals to which opposite end portions of the wire are connected;
a wire circuit member including an insulative covering layer by which the terminal-assembled wire member is partially covered; and
at least two molded connector members formed respectively on opposite end portions of the terminal-assembled wire member, wherein the terminals are of the female type, and wherein each of the molded connector members comprises a connector housing in which the end portion of the terminal-assembled wire member is inserted, and a terminal holder attached to a terminal-inserting side of the connector housing, and wherein the connector housing is of the waterproof type, and includes a waterproof wall which is formed in a bulged manner on an outer peripheral surface of the connector housing, receiving the terminals therein, and extends in a direction away from the terminal-inserting side.

Abstract
In a wire module (1), a terminal (4, 5) is pressed to be clamped to each of opposite end portions of a wire (6) to thereby provide a terminal-assembled wire member (2), and molded connector members (10, 11) and a wire circuit member (12) are formed in such a manner that a plurality of terminal-assembled wire members are arranged in an insulative covering layer (3). In the case where the terminals (4) are of the female type, the molded connector member comprises a connector housing, in which the terminal-assembled wire members (2) are inserted, and a terminal holder attached to a terminal-inserting side of the connector housing. The connector housing is of the waterproof type, and includes a waterproof wall which is formed in a bulged manner on an outer peripheral surface of a housing body, receiving the terminals therein, and extends in a direction away from the terminal-inserting side. In the case where the terminals (5) are of the male type, the molded connector member includes a terminal-erecting holder fixing the terminal-assembled wire members and the wires.
