Abstract
A terminal crimped wire includes a wire including a conductor and an insulation sheath covering a circumference of the conductor, a crimping terminal crimped to the wire, an anticorrosion material which covers an exposed part of the wire drawn out of the crimping terminal, and an elastic member provided along a circumference of the wire. The wire is crimped to the crimping terminal via the elastic member interposed therebetween.
Claims19
A terminal crimped wire, comprising:
- a wire including a conductor and an insulation sheath covering a circumference of the conductor;
- a crimping terminal crimped to the wire;
- an anticorrosion material which covers an exposed part of the wire drawn out of the crimping terminal;
- and
- an elastic member provided along a circumference of the wire, wherein
- the crimping terminal is crimped to the wire via the elastic member interposed therebetween,
- the conductor is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy,
- the crimping terminal is crimped to the conductor exposed in a manner such that the insulation sheath at a terminal of the wire is removed, and to an end portion of the insulation sheath,
- the elastic member comprises a cylindrical elastic sealing member which covers a circumference of the end portion of the insulation sheath towards the exposed conductor and a circumference of the exposed conductor adjacent to the end portion of the insulation sheath,
- the crimping terminal comprises:
- a conductor crimping portion crimping to the exposed conductor;
- and
- an elastic member crimping portion located in an end portion of the crimping terminal on a wire connection side to crimp a part of the elastic member where the circumference of the exposed conductor is covered,
- a gap in the crimping terminal crimped to the wire is covered with the anticorrosion material,
- a groove is provided on an inner surface of the elastic member crimping portion in a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the wire, and
- an inner diameter of the elastic member is smaller than the diameter of the conductor such that the elastic member comes into close contact with the circumference of the insulation sheath and the circumference of the exposed conductor.
