Claim:
1. A wire harness comprising: a terminated electric cable that includes an electric cable having a conductive wire and an insulation coating covering a circumference of the conductive wire, and a terminal fitting that is connected to the conductive wire at an end of the electric cable; a connector that is made from a first synthetic resin that is insert-molded with a part of the terminal fitting used as an insert section, the connector sealing a partial region of the terminal fitting other than a contact section to be brought into contact with a connection counterpart of the terminated electric cable, the partial region being located on the contact section side of the terminal fitting; a water-stopping portion that is made from a second synthetic resin that is softer than the first synthetic resin and insert-molded with a section extending from a part of the terminal fitting to the insulation coating of the terminated electric cable used as an insert section, the water-stopping portion sealing a water-stopping region extending from a boundary, on a side connected to the conductive wire, of the partial region of the terminal fitting that is sealed by the connector, to the insulation coating of the electric cable; a ring-shaped seal portion that is made from the second synthetic resin and that is insert-molded together with the water-stopping portion with the connector used as an insert section, the ring-shaped seal portion being formed into one piece with the connector over an outer circumferential surface of a portion of the connector, and a coupling portion formed into one molded piece together with and connecting the water-stopping portion and the ring-shaped seal portion, the coupling portion connecting the water-stopping portion and the seal portion without penetrating the connector.
