Abstract
A wiring harness which is excellent in peel strength at a joining portion where conductors of electric wires are joined together, even if at least one of the electric wires have a small diameter. A wiring harness includes insulated wires whose conductors are partly exposed, and a metal leaf with which the exposed conductors are bound, where the bound conductors are welded preferably by ultrasonic welding, and the conductors including elemental wires have a joining portion where the elemental wires are joined together, the joining portion being inside the metal leaf. The elemental wires and the metal leaf are preferably made from copper, a copper alloy, aluminum and/or an aluminum alloy, and are preferably made from a same metal or a same alloy. At least one of the conductors preferably has a cross-sectional area of 0.35 mmor less.
