[0002] In recent years, as the national environmental protection policy has been gradually improved, the electric vehicle industry has developed rapidly. For automobiles, wiring harnesses are like nerves, and their importance is self-evident. First, under the trend of electrification and intelligence, the demand for wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles is increasing, and the cost is increasing, which is doubled compared to the cost of traditional fuel vehicles. Secondly, the weight of wiring harnesses for new energy vehicles has increased, and the low-voltage wiring harness has reached about 25 kg, and the high-voltage wiring harness has reached 20 kg. The low-voltage wiring harness is 0.35mm thick. 2 The demand for copper is the largest; more importantly, copper, an important material for wire harnesses, is in short supply. It is estimated that the global copper supply gap will reach 500,000 tons in 2024. According to statistics, China's annual copper demand is about 15 million tons, accounting for more than 50% of the global consumption, and it is heavily dependent on imports; and the automotive industry, as a major user of copper, accounts for 13% of the country's demand, of which the use of wire harnesses accounts for half of the entire automotive industry. This year, copper prices have hit a record high of 76,000 yuan / ton. From this point of view, "reducing costs and weight, and reducing the use of copper materials" has become an urgent problem to be solved in the wire harness industry.

[0015] The number of copper wires is Z, 6 ≤ Z ≤ 19;

[0017] Furthermore, the second conductor is made of copper-clad aluminum;

[0018] The volume proportion of copper in the second conductor part is N, 20%≤N≤40%.

[0019] Furthermore, the cross-sectional area of ​​the circular conductor structure is S, 0.13 mm 2 ≤S≤0.22mm 2 .
