Crimping terminal

A crimping terminal comprising:

• an electric connection portion;
• and
• a conductor crimping portion provided at a back side of the electric connection portion in a lengthwise direction thereof, the conductor crimping portion being connected to a conductor exposed at a front end of an electric cable so as to crimp the conductor, the conductor crimping portion including:
• a bottom plate on which the conductor is placed,
• a pair of conductor crimping tabs configured to crimp the conductor on the bottom plate so as to wrap the conductor, the conductor crimping tabs being formed so as to extend from left and right sides of the bottom plate when seen from the lengthwise direction,
• serrations configured to retain the conductor inside the conductor crimping portion, the serrations being formed in at least a part of an inner surface of the conductor crimping portion, the part being curled so as to wrap the conductor when crimping the conductor, the serrations including recesses independently provided so as to be spaced from each other and
• at least one bead formed extending in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction and being formed protruding from the inner surface of the conductor crimping portion toward the conductor on the bottom plate, the at least one bead being provided at the back side of the serrations in the lengthwise direction or the back and front sides of the serrations in the lengthwise direction in the inner surface of the conductor crimping portion.
