Abstract
A welding terminal for electrically connecting a conductor portion of a wire includes a terminal base plate portion, on which the conductor portion is placed for welding and a pair of side walls, formed on opposite side edges of the terminal base plate portion so as to stand perpendicularly. The wire has a plurality of conductors covered with a insulating sheath. Each corner portion formed by the each side wall and terminal base plate portion has a rounded shape in cross section.
Claims1
A welding terminal for electrically connecting a conductor portion of a wire which has a plurality of conductors covered with an insulating sheath, comprising:
- a terminal base plate portion, on which the conductor portion is placed for welding by one of electric resistance welding and ultrasonic welding;
- and
- a pair of side walls, formed on opposite side edges of the terminal base plate portion so as to stand perpendicularly,
- wherein each corner portion formed by the each side wall and terminal base plate portion has a rounded shape in cross section, a radius of the corner portion being in a range of 1/3 –½ times a radius of the conductor portion of the wire.
