To provide a wire harness that allows improved heat dissipation at a waterproof site treated with a waterproof member.SOLUTION: A wire harness 20 has a wire 31, a connector 22 provided at an end of the wire 31, an exterior member 23 into which the wire 31 is inserted, and a heat-shrinkable tube 26 that serves as a waterproof member to prevent water entry from a gap between the connector 22 and the exterior member 23. In the lengthwise direction of the wire 31, an end of the exterior member 23 faces the connector 22. The heat-shrinkable tube 26 covers the connector 22 and the end of the exterior member 23.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】防水部材による防水箇所における放熱性の向上を可能にしたワイヤハーネスを提供する。【解決手段】ワイヤハーネス２０は、電線３１と、電線３１の端部に設けられたコネクタ２２と、電線３１が挿通される外装部材２３と、コネクタ２２と外装部材２３との間からの水の浸入を防ぐ防水部材としての熱収縮チューブ２６と、を備える。電線３１の長さ方向において、外装部材２３の端部はコネクタ２２に対向している。そして、熱収縮チューブ２６は、コネクタ２２と外装部材２３の端部とを覆っている。【選択図】図２
