Abstract
A terminal-equipped covered electric wire and a wire harness in which an electrical connection portion where a terminal fitting and an electric wire conductor are electrically connected is covered with a resin cover portion. With the terminal-equipped covered electric wire and the wire harness, the terminal fitting is prevented from being damaged during insertion into a connector housing, and the resin cover portion has improved adhesiveness to the terminal fitting. Provided is a terminal-equipped covered electric wire in which a resin cover portion covering an electrical connection portion includes a first layer made of a thermoplastic elastomer having adhesiveness to the surface of a terminal fitting, and a second layer made of a polyester resin. The adhesive strength between the thermoplastic elastomer and the polyester resin is 1.3 MPa or more. A wire harness including such a terminal-equipped covered electric wire is configured.
