Insulated electric wire and harness with water-stopping agent and wire harness

Abstract

An insulated electric wire with a water-stopping portion has excellent water stopping performance and forms quickly, and a wire harness includes the insulated electric wire. An insulated electric wire includes: a conductor wherein multiple metal material elemental wires are twisted together; and an insulation covering covers an outer circumference of the conductor. The insulated electric wire includes an exposed portion wherein the insulation covering is removed; a covered portion wherein the insulation covering covers the conductor, the exposed and covered portions are adjacent to each other in a longitudinal axis direction; and a water-stopping portion wherein gaps between the wires in the exposed portion are filled with a water-stopping agent. At least a portion of the water-stopping agent contacting the wires is made of a resin material that cures upon contact. A wire harness includes the insulated electric wire, and electric connections capable of other device connection at both ends, each capable of other device connection.
