Abstract
A water-stop structure for electrical wire includes: a terminal including an electrical wire connection portion; and an electrical wire in which an outer circumference of a conductor including a plurality of single wires is coated with an insulation coating portion and which is swaged to be fixed to the electrical wire connection portion, a water-stop agent being filled into a gap in the insulation coating portion to thereby perform water stop in the electrical wire. The water-stop agent includes a fluorescent agent.
Claims3
A method of manufacturing a water-stop structure for electrical wire including a terminal including an electrical wire connection portion and an electrical wire in which an outer circumference of a conductor including a plurality of single wires is coated with an insulation coating portion and which is swaged to be fixed to the electrical wire connection portion, a water-stop agent being filled into a gap in the insulation coating portion to thereby perform water stop in the electrical wire, the method comprising:
- a step of dropping the water-stop agent including a fluorescent agent onto an exposed part of the conductor exposed by peeling off the insulation coating portion;
- a water-stop agent permeating step of generating a pressure difference between an ambient pressure of a part where the water-stop agent is dropped and an inner pressure of the insulation coating portion to thereby pour the water-stop agent into the insulation coating portion;
- and
- an inspection step of irradiating the exposed part of the conductor in which the water-stop agent is dropped, with black light, wherein
- the water-stop agent including the fluorescent agent is a silicone agent hardened with moisture.
