Abstract

A wire harness can be replaced partly or in its entirety with a circuit board which is composed of an insulator substrate and a plurality of conductive strip members provided thereon. The above mentioned conductive strip members are arranged on the insulator substrate parallel with each other. This parallel arrangement of the conductive strips corresponds to bundling of wires in a wire harness. By providing branch paths extending from the conductive strip members, the circuit board can replace a substantial part of the wire harness.
