ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive flat electric wire for a wire harness and an inexpensive wire harness utilizing the flat electric wire can be produced. A flat electric wire (P) is produced by juxtaposing a plurality of insulator-sheathed electric wire elements (a), each having a single core, on a plane; and by applying a reinforcing tape (51) on the juxtaposed wire elements (a) at a desired position over the width of the elements (a), whereby the wire elements (a) are secured together to each other by the tape (51) to form the flat electric wire (P) for a wire harness. A wire harness (d) having connectors at opposite ends is produced by winding the flat electric wire (P) for a wire harness on a reel (61) beforehand; by drawing the flat electric wire (P) from the reel (61); by measuring and cutting (A) the flat electric wire (P); by carrying the cut-off flat electric wire (P) in a juxtaposed direction while holding opposite ends of the cut-off flat electric wire (P) by grippers; and by treating opposite ends of the cut-off flat electric wire (P) during the carrying step by means of stripping (B) the insulator sheath, connecting (C) terminals (t), and attaching (D) connectors (C).
