A touch sensor includes a hollow tubular member that is elastic and insulative; and a first electrode wire and a second electrode wire held in the tubular member while being separated from each other. The first electrode wire and the second electrode wire contact with each other by elastic deformation when receiving an external pressure to the tubular member. The first electrode wire and the second electrode wire extend parallel to a central axis of the tubular member. A shape of a gap between the first electrode wire and the second electrode wire in a cross section orthogonal to the central axis of the tubular member is non-linear.

An electrical wire holding device includes a seal retention member having an insertion hole configured to allow an electrical wire to be inserted therethrough, and housed in a mounting hole formed in a mounted member, an outer periphery seal member retained on an outer peripheral surface of the seal retention member, and sealing a gap between an inner surface of the mounting hole and seal retention member, and an electrical wire holding member juxtaposed with the seal retention member along the electrical wire, and having a fixing part configured to retain the electrical wire and fixing the electrical wire to the mounted member. The seal retention member is configured to be relatively movable to the electrical wire holding member.

A vehicle electrical conduction path includes plural power cables, a braided shield which bundles and shields the plural power cables, a control cable, a metallic pipe which accommodates the control cable separately from the plural power cables, and a flexible resin tube which covers a periphery of the metallic pipe and the plural power cables bundled with the braided shield and arranged along the metallic pipe.

A connector includes a male connector part composed of a male terminal, a first main body to which the male terminal is attached, and a first terminal housing portion composed of a first housing opening portion in which an end of the male terminal is exhibited and a predetermined housing space in which the male terminal is housed, a female connector part composed of a female terminal into which the male terminal is inserted, the male terminal being electrically connected to the female terminal by fitting the male connector part with the female connector part, a holding means inside the female terminal for holding the male terminal in a vertical direction, and a touch protecting means inside the first terminal housing portion for protecting the male terminal housed in the predetermined housing space from being touched by a foreign body. The touch protecting means includes an insulating portion for covering a part of the male terminal including the end of the male terminal except a part contacting the holding means when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal, and a pair of projecting portions projecting in the predetermined housing space of the first terminal housing portion and at a position opposite the part contacting the holding means when the male terminal is inserted into the female terminal such that the male terminal is sandwiched therebetween in the vertical direction.
