Abstract
A terminal (20) is connected to a core (12) of a wire (13). The terminal (20) includes two wire barrels (25L, 25R) extending from a bottom portion (22) on which the core (12) is placed. The wire barrels (25L, 25R) are crimped to wind around the core (12). The core (12) includes strands (11) made of metal having a larger tensile strength than metal of the female terminal (20). At least first, second and third strands (11J, 11K) and (11L) are disposed side by side in a direction intersecting an extending direction of the core (20) inside the wire barrels (25L, 25R). A tip of the wire barrels (25L, 25R) is inserted between the first and second strands (11J, 11K) and a tip of the other of the pair of wire barrels (25L, 25R) is inserted between the second and third strands (11K, 11L).
Claims9
A wire with terminal in which a terminal is connected to a core of a wire, wherein:
- the terminal includes first and second wire barrels extending from a bottom portion on which the core is placed, the first wire barrel having opposite inner and outer surfaces and a first tip adjacent the inner surface and the second wire barrel having opposite inner and outer surfaces and a second tip adjacent the inner surface, the first and second wire barrels being crimped to wind around an outer periphery of the core;
- the core includes strands made of metal having a larger tensile strength than a tensile strength of metal of the terminal;
- and
- the first and second of wire barrels being crimped to the core so that at least first, second and third strands of the core are disposed side by side in a lateral direction intersecting an extending direction of the core and are positioned between the first and second wire barrels, the first wire barrel being crimped so that the first tip is inserted at least partly between the first and second strands in the lateral direction, and the second wire barrel being crimped so that the second is inserted at least partly between the second and third strands in the lateral direction.
