Abstract
A terminal-equipped electric wire has an electric wire including a bonded portion formed at a part of a conductor exposed due to absence of a sheath at a part of the electric wire in a longitudinal direction and in which strands of the conductor are bonded to each other; and a terminal including a wire barrel portion, the wire barrel portion covering at least a part of the bonded portion. The bonded portion includes a load release portion configured to reduce stress applied to the conductor.
Claims7
A terminal-equipped electric wire comprising:
- an electric wire including a bonded portion formed at a part of a conductor exposed due to absence of a sheath at a part of the electric wire in a longitudinal direction and in which strands of the conductor are bonded to each other;
- and
- a terminal including a wire barrel portion, the wire barrel portion covering at least a part of the bonded portion,
- wherein the bonded portion is provided with a load release portion configured to reduce stress applied to the conductor.
A terminal-equipped electric wire comprising:
- an electric wire including a bonded portion formed at a part of a conductor exposed due to absence of a sheath at a part of the electric wire in a longitudinal direction and in which strands of the conductor are bonded to each other;
- and
- a terminal including a wire barrel portion, the wire barrel portion covering at least a part of the bonded portion,
- wherein a diameter of the bonded portion gradually increases toward an end of the bonded portion in an end portion of the bonded portion.
A method for manufacturing a terminal-equipped electric wire, the method comprising:
- forming, in an electric wire, a bonded portion in which strands of a conductor are bonded to each other in at least a part of the conductor in a longitudinal direction exposed due to absence of a sheath at a part of the electric wire in the longitudinal direction;
- and
- fixing a terminal including a wire barrel portion to the electric wire such that the wire barrel portion covers at least a part of the bonded portion,
- wherein at least one end portion of the bonded portion in the longitudinal direction is provided with a load release portion configured to reduce stress applied to the conductor.
An electric wire comprising
- a bonded portion, in which strands of a conductor are bonded to each other, formed at least at a part of the conductor in a longitudinal direction exposed due to absence of a sheath at a part of the electric wire in the longitudinal direction,
- wherein a diameter of the bonded portion gradually increases toward an end of the bonded portion in an end portion of the bonded portion.
