Terminal-equipped electric wire and method of manufacturing terminal-equipped electric wire

Abstract

A terminal-equipped electric wire includes at least one electric wire and a terminal including a wire barrel and installed on the electric wire. The electric wire includes a sheath; a conductor having a covered portion covered by the sheath and an exposed portion exposed due to absence of the sheath over a predetermined length at a part of the electric wire in a longitudinal direction of the electric wire; and a bonded portion formed over a predetermined length at a part of the exposed portion, the bonded portion at which strands of the conductor are bonded. An end of the wire barrel on a sheath side is closer to the sheath than an end of the bonded portion on the sheath side. The wire barrel covers at least a part of the bonded portion.
