Abstract
A electric distributor assembly for movable means like vehicle is provided which has a distribution cable, which is easier to handle, having both of a metal terminal excellent in workability and an Al-made twisted wire conductor connected to the terminal so as to show a superior connection characteristic. The twisted-wire conductor is made of an Al or Al alloy of which conductivity is 50% or more under IACS. The metal terminal is made of, preferably, an Al or Al alloy of which elongation is 20% or more. The terminal is connected with the cable conductor, preferably, with ultrasonic vibrations.
Claims8
