Abstract
A terminal metal fitting (20) includes a barrel portion (41) and a contact portion (31). The barrel portion (41) has a plate body to be formed into a tubular shape by overlapping its one end and its other end each other. The plate body has: a base portion (46); a tip portion (45); and an intermediate portion (47) connecting the base portion (46) and the tip portion (45) and to cover a conductor core wire (11) located between the base portion (46) and the tip portion (45). The barrel portion (41) has, at the one end portion of at least the intermediate portion (47) among the plate body, a bent portion (47a) having a bent shape toward the conductor core wire (11) before crimping and to be in pressure contact with the conductor core wire (11) after the crimping.
Claims5
A terminal metal fitting to be attached to an electric wire, the terminal metal fitting comprising:
- a barrel portion to be crimped onto a conductor core wire exposed from the electric wire;
- and
- a contact portion to be connected to a counterpart terminal,
- the barrel portion having a plate body to be formed into a tubular shape after crimping by overlapping one end portion and other end portion of the plate body each other, the plate body having:
- a base portion to cover a cover body of the electric wire;
- a tip portion being spaced from the base portion and to cover the conductor core wire;
- and an intermediate portion connecting the base portion and the tip portion and to cover the conductor core wire located between the base portion and the tip portion to be isolated from outside,
- the barrel portion having, at the one end portion of at least the intermediate portion among the plate body, a bent portion having a bent shape toward the conductor core wire before crimping and to be in pressure contact with the conductor core wire after the crimping.
