Abstract

In a flexible print circuit having a plurality of signal wires, core wires formed from a shape memory material are provided on the two end portions thereof in the direction of width, and are caused to memorize a wiring completion shape within an electronic instrument in advance. In a wire harness having a plurality of signal wires, core wires formed from a shape memory alloy are disposed on the two sides of the planar signal wire array, or positioned along the central axis of the signal wires which are bundled into circular form. A guide frame for guiding a wire harness having a plurality of signal wires and which is caused to memorize in advance a shape which removes the wire harness from the movement range of a movable component within the electronic instrument.
