Patent ID: 6901657

Claim:
An apparatus ( 200 ) in combination with a wiring harness ( 1 ) having a plurality of first sub-harnesses ( 10 a ) and a plurality of second sub-harnesses ( 20 a ), the apparatus in combination with the wiring harness comprising: a first sub-harness assembling line ( 201 ) for assembling a first sub-harness, the first sub-harness having a plurality of electrical cables ( 4 a ), a plurality of first press-fit terminals ( 30 a ), and a first isolator ( 40 a ), the first press-fit terminal being joined to each end of the first electrical cable, the first isolator holding the first press-fit terminals positioned at one end of the first sub-harness, a second sub-harness assembling line ( 202 ) for assembling a second sub-harness, the second sub-harness having a plurality of second electrical cables ( 4 b ), a plurality of second press-fit terminals ( 30 b ), a plurality of crimp terminals ( 90 ), a connector housing ( 8 ) for accommodating the crimp terminals, and a second isolator ( 40 b ) supporting the second press-fit terminals, the second press-fit terminal being connected to one end of the second electrical cable, the crimp terminal being connected to the other end of the second electrical cable, and a wiring harness assembling line ( 203 ) for layering the isolators of the first and second sub-harnesses to complete the wiring harness, wherein, when any of the first and second isolators are layered, the press-fit terminals held by different ones of the isolators can be connected to one another, and wherein the first and second sub-harnesses are assembled in the first and second sub-harness assembling lines based on an assembling time required for assembling the wiring harness in the wiring harness assembling line to reduce a space for stocking the first and second sub-harnesses.
