Patent ID: 7189925

Claim:
A wiring system for interconnecting at least one device connector of at least one first electronic device and at least one second device connector of at least one second electronic device, the wiring system comprising: at least one main harness having at least one first group of wires aligned in a substantially parallel direction; at least one sub harness having at least one second group of wires, the at least one second group of wires having at least one joint portion; ; and a coupling structure configured to couple the main harness and sub harness together to form a complete wiring harness that extends to interconnect the at least one first and second device connectors, with the at least one joint portion provided only in the sub harness and with the main harness free of any joint portions; wherein the coupling structure comprises a main harness side relay connector and a sub harness side relay connector which are mutually engageable with each other, and wherein a plurality of electrical terminals are arranged in the main harness side and sub harness side relay connectors respectively in such a manner as: (a) to correspond to an electrical terminal arrangement pattern of the at least one first device connector so that the wires of the main harness are aligned in a substantially parallel manner; and (b) not to correspond to an electrical terminal arrangement pattern of the at least one second device connector so that the wires of the sub harness are not aligned in a substantially parallel manner; each said main harness is configured to be sub-assembled independently of any other said main harness; and each said sub harness is configured not be sub-assembled independently of any other said sub harness.
