Abstract
A method of manufacturing a wire with terminal includes: a) crimping a core wire crimping portion of a terminal onto an exposed core wire extending from an insulating sheathing member at an end portion of a wire; b) crimping a sheath crimping portion of the terminal onto the insulating sheathing member; and c) designating at least one of a first trough-shaped combination portion, which links a terminal connection portion of the terminal and the core wire crimping portion, and a second trough-shaped combination portion, which links the core wire crimping portion and the sheath crimping portion, as a target combination portion and deforming the upright tabs of the target combination portion into an arc shape bulging outward.
Claims6
A method of manufacturing a wire with terminal comprising a wire and a terminal attached to an end portion of the wire comprises:
- a) crimping a core wire crimping portion of the terminal onto an exposed core wire extending from an insulating sheathing member at the end portion of the wire;
- b) crimping a sheath crimping portion of the terminal onto the insulating sheathing member;
- and
- c) designating at least one of a first combination portion, which links a terminal connection portion of the terminal and the core wire crimping portion and comprises a bottom and upright tabs standing upright from each of two ends of the first combination portion bottom, and a second combination portion, which links the core wire crimping portion and the sheath crimping portion and comprises a bottom and upright tabs standing upright from each of two ends of the second combination portion bottom, as a target combination portion and deforming the upright tabs of the target combination portion into an arc shape bulging outward such that an entire cross-section of the target combination portion, taken perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the core wire, is defined by a continuous curve.
A wire with terminal comprising:
- a wire;
- a terminal attached to an end portion of the wire;
- a first crimped portion where a core wire crimping portion of the terminal is crimped onto an exposed core wire extending from an insulating sheathing member at the end portion of the wire;
- a second crimped portion where a sheath crimping portion of the terminal is crimped onto the insulating sheathing member;
- and
- a deformed portion where at least one of a first combination portion, which links a terminal connection portion of the terminal and the core wire crimping portion and comprises a bottom and upright tabs standing upright from each of two ends of the bottom, and a second combination portion, which links the core wire crimping portion and the sheath crimping portion and comprises a bottom and upright tabs standing upright from each of two ends of the bottom, is designated as a target combination portion and the upright tabs of the target combination portion are deformed into an arc shape bulging outward such that an entire cross-section of the target combination portion, taken perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the core wire, is defined by a continuous curve.
