Claim Text:
1. A wiring harness, comprising: (a) a stiff portion defining a first power transmission path and having such stiffness to retain a shape corresponding to the first power transmission path; (b) a flexible portion defining a second power transmission path and having a stiffness smaller than the stiffness of the first power transmission path, and having flexibility; and (c) a connecting part connecting the stiff portion to the flexible portion, the connecting part including a connection structure configured to connect a conductive end of the stiff portion and a conductive end of the flexible portion to each other with the conductive ends insulated from outside, wherein one of the stiff and flexible portions has a conductor, an insulation, a first shielding member, and a sheath, the sheath also serving as an exterior armor element, and wherein the other of the stiff and flexible portions has a second shielding member, and one of the first and second shielding members has a length extending past a connecting region where the conductive ends of the stiff and flexible portions are connected to each other, and extends to the other of the first and second shielding members.
