Production method for terminal-equipped electrical wire, crimp tool, and terminal-equipped electrical wire

Abstract

A production method for a terminal-equipped electrical wire in which a terminal including a bottom plate portion and a pair of wire barrels extending sideward from the bottom plate portion is crimped to a core wire exposed at an end of an electrical wire, includes: a step of placing the core wire on the bottom plate portion; and a step of allowing the wire barrels to surround the core wire and be crimped to the core wire using a crimp tool, wherein the crimp tool includes a first tool having a placement face on which the bottom plate portion and the core wire are placed, and a second tool having a curved face for holding and curving the wire barrels between the curved face and the placement face, and a surface roughness Ra2 of the curved face is larger than a surface roughness Ra1 of the placement face (Ra2>Ra1).
