Abstract
A crimp terminal (10) has a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) that has a core crimping portion (22) that is fixed by crimping to a core (38) of a coated wire (32), and a link (16) that extends between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) is formed by a pair of slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in a direction along which the link (16) so as to be separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction. An intermediate region (28) sandwiched between the slits (26) in the width direction is deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion (22) protrudes.
Claims12
A crimp terminal (10) comprising:
- a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target;
- a crimp portion (14) spaced from the connecting portion (12) along an extension direction, the crimp portion (14) having a core crimping portion (22) that is fixed by crimping to a core (34) of a coated wire (32);
- and
- a link (16) extending along the extension direction between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) formed by two slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in the extension direction, the slits (26) being separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction, an intermediate region sandwiched between the slits (26) in the width direction being deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion (22) protrudes.
A waterproof termination, comprising:
- a crimp terminal (10) having connecting portion (12) configured for conductive connection to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) spaced from the connecting portion (12) along an extension direction and having core crimping pieces (24) protruding in a first direction from one surface of the crimp portion (14), and a link (16) extending along the extension direction between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) formed by two slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in the extension direction, the slits (26) being separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction, an intermediate region between the slits in the width direction being deformed to protrude in the first direction;
- a wire (32) having an end and a core (34) exposed at the end, the end of the wire abutting against a surface (42) of the positioning protrusion (30) facing toward the crimp portion (14) the core (34) being engaged by the core crimping pieces (24);
- and
- a heat shrinkable tube (38) positioned over the crimp portion (14) and the link (16) and at least a part of the wire (32) engaged by the core crimping pieces (24).
