It is installed on the main line 12 attached. Specifically, in this winding form, as shown in FIG. 20, when the winding of the binding tape 18 reaches the branch start point 15 of the branch wire 14, the intermediate portion 16 of each branch wire 14 extends along the trunk line 12.
- the joint connector JC is disposed at the position where the binding tape 18 is already wound around the branch start point 15 of the branch wire 14 while being folded so as to bulge in the direction.

- the joint connector JC may be arranged so that the bottom wall 42 of the insulating housing 40 faces the main line 12 side. When arranged in this way and fixed on the main line 12, the outward bending of the lance 46 is restricted by the peripheral surface of the main line 12, and thus the electric wire side terminal 20 is prevented from falling off.
- the joint connector JC may be disposed, for example, simply by pressing the joint connector JC with a finger or the like until the next tape winding operation, or the joint connector JC using an adhesive tape or the like. Temporary fixing may be performed. Further, the joint connector JC may be arranged such that a part of the joint connector JC protrudes from the binding tape 18 (see FIG. 20).

Therefore, when the joint connector JC is disposed on the main line 12 in this state, and the binding tape 18 is wound around the joint connector JC and the main line 12, the shape of the main line 12 is stable. Therefore, the binding tape 18 can be tightly wound. As a result, the joint connector JC is securely fastened to the main line 12 by the binding tape 18.

Therefore, even if the trunk line 12 of such a wire harness 100 is routed on the surface of the vehicle body 50 as shown in FIG. 23, the joint connector JC is displaced in the circumferential direction of the trunk line 12 due to the vibration of the vehicle or the like.

複数本の電線10が束ねられることにより幹線12が形成されるとともに、その電線10のうちの複数本(この実施の形態では4本)の電線が分岐電線14として前記幹線10から引き出される。各電線10には、いわゆる被覆電線が用いられ、当該電線10は導体とこれを被覆する絶縁被覆とをそれぞれ有する。
前記各分岐電線14に装着された電線側端子20が図5~図8に示されるようなジョイントコネクタJCに接続されることにより、当該電線側端子20同士の短絡が行われる。
前記のようにして各分岐電線14が接続されたジョイントコネクタJCは、分岐電線14を畳むようにして幹線12上に設置される。具体的に、この方法例では、各分岐電線14の中間部分16が幹線12に沿う方向に膨出するようにして畳まれながら、前記ジョイントコネクタJCが前記分岐電線14の分岐始点15(図1)の近傍の位置に設置される。この設置は、例えば次のテープ巻き作業の直前に行われて作業者が指等で前記ジョイントコネクタJCを押えておくだけで行われてもよいし、粘着テープ等によるジョイントコネクタJCの仮止めが行われてもよい。
前記幹線12を構成する電線10の周囲に、その結束状態を保持するように結束用テープ18が螺旋状に巻付けられる。この巻付けは、図2に示すように幹線12の全面を覆うように行われてもよいし、幹線12の一部が露出する隙間をおいて行われてもよい。
前記各電線は、基本的に、低抵抗で防錆性の高い銅系電線(その導体が銅または銅合金からなる電線)により構成される。しかし、前記のワイヤハーネス100では、前記回路構成部材50A,50B,50Cの少なくとも一つが、前記銅系電線とそれ以外の非銅系電線とを含む複合回路部材として構成されることも可能である。具体的には、前記回路構成部材50A,50B,50Cのうちのいずれか一つが複合回路部材であってもよいし、全ての回路構成部材50A,50B,50Cが複合回路部材であってもよい。例えば回路構成部材50Aが複合回路部材である場合、その電線52A,53A,54Aのうちの一部に非銅系電線が用いられ、残りに銅系電線が用いられてもよい。
前記結束用テープ18の巻付けについては、有効な態様が種々存在する。図10乃至図12に示す第1の巻付け形態では、まず、結束用テープ18がジョイントコネクタJCの周囲に少なくとも1周巻付けられる(図10乃至図12では1周巻付けられたものを示す。)。このとき、結束用テープ18は、ジョイントコネクタJCにおける絶縁ハウジング40の底壁42に形成された全てのランス46上を通るように絶縁ハウジング40の周囲に巻付けられる。この結束用テープ18は、前記絶縁ハウジング40の周囲に少なくとも一周巻付けられたあと連続して当該結束用テープ18をその周囲に巻付けられた状態のジョイントコネクタJCと幹線12とに跨ってその周囲に一括して巻付けられる。これにより、当該結束用テープ18を利用したジョイントコネクタJCの固定が効率よく行われる。
以上のように、本発明によれば、複数本の電線及びジョイントコネクタを用いて短絡回路を形成し、かつ、その細線化及び軽量化を図ることが可能なワイヤハーネス、及び、このワイヤハーネスを簡素な工程によって製造することができる方法が提供される。
