Abstract
A crimp terminal (10) has a connecting portion (12) that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion (14) that has a core crimping portion (22) that is fixed by crimping to a core (38) of a coated wire (32), and a link (16) that extends between the connecting portion (12) and the crimp portion (14), a positioning protrusion (30) is formed by a pair of slits (26) penetrating through the link (16) and extending in a direction along which the link (16) so as to be separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction. An intermediate region (28) sandwiched between the slits (26) in the width direction is deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion (22) protrudes.
Claims11
A crimp terminal comprising:
- a connecting portion that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target;
- a crimp portion spaced from the connecting portion along an extension direction, the crimp portion having a core crimping portion that is fixed by crimping to a core of a coated wire;
- and
- a link extending along the extension direction between the connecting portion and the crimp portion, a positioning protrusion formed by two slits penetrating through the link and extending in the extension direction, the slits being separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction, an intermediate region sandwiched between the slits in the width direction being deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion protrudes, wherein the positioning protrusion has a peaked shape that protrudes most in a central section in the extension direction.
A crimp terminal comprising:
- a connecting portion that is conductively connected to an electrical connection target;
- a crimp portion spaced from the connecting portion along an extension direction, the crimp portion having a core crimping portion that is fixed by crimping to a core of a coated wire;
- and
- a link extending along the extension direction between the connecting portion and the crimp portion, a positioning protrusion formed by two slits penetrating through the link and extending in the extension direction, the slits being separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction, an intermediate region sandwiched between the slits in the width direction being deformed to protrude on a side on which the core crimping portion protrudes, wherein the positioning protrusion is joined unitarily to the link at opposite ends in the extension direction.
A waterproof termination, comprising:
- a crimp terminal having connecting portion configured for conductive connection to an electrical connection target, a crimp portion spaced from the connecting portion along an extension direction and having core crimping pieces protruding in a first direction from one surface of the crimp portion, and a link extending along the extension direction between the connecting portion and the crimp portion, a positioning protrusion formed by two slits penetrating through the link and extending in the extension direction, the slits being separated from each other in a width direction orthogonal to the extension direction, an intermediate region between the slits in the width direction being deformed to protrude in the first direction;
- a wire having an end and a core exposed at the end, the end of the wire abutting against a surface of the positioning protrusion facing toward the crimp portion the core being engaged by the core crimping pieces;
- a heat shrinkable tube positioned over the crimp portion and the link and at least a part of the wire engaged by the core crimping pieces;
- and
- a hot melt adhesive inward of the heat shrinkable tube and surrounding the positioning protrusion.
