Abstract
A connection structure of a wire harness enables the wire harness to be severed in the event of a vehicle collision. End portions of electric wires are respectively provided with connection end portions in which conductors of the end portions have been subjected to fusing processing, the connection end portion has an extension portion and a protruding portion, the protruding portion is at least partially provided with a tapered portion, the connection end portions are integrally connected to each other by crimping the extension portions from the radial-direction outer side by the connecting member, and at the connection end portion, the crimping of an extension portion to press the tapered portion inserted in a concave portion causes the engagement force between the extension portion and the connecting member to become weaker than the engagement force between the extension portion and the connecting member when applying tension to the electric wires.
