Abstract
A terminal-equipped electric wire has an electric wire including a bonded portion formed over a predetermined length at a part of a conductor exposed due to absence of a sheath over a predetermined length 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 wire barrel portion includes 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 the wire barrel 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 an end portion of the wire barrel portion gradually increases in diameter toward an end of the wire barrel 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 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;
- 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 after forming the bonded portion,
- wherein the wire barrel portion is provided with a load release portion configured to reduce stress applied to the conductor.
