Abstract
An electric wire with a terminal is formed by coating a crimp terminal and a crimp connection portion of an electric wire with an anti-corrosive material. When the electric wire with a terminal is manufactured, in a step of setting the terminal in a mold, in a position within a cavity corresponding to the upper surface of a front end of the anti-corrosive material, a release promoting member for promoting release of the mold from a resin is arranged, and in such a state, the anti-corrosive material is molded.
Claims4
An electric wire with a terminal, comprising:
- an electric wire which includes a conductor and an insulating coating to coat the conductor;
- a crimp terminal which includes a conductor crimp portion that is crimp-connected to the conductor in a state where an exposed portion of the conductor protruding forward from the insulating coating at a terminal of the electric wire is placed on a terminal bottom plate extended in a forward/backward direction;
- an anti-corrosive material which is made of resin and molded integrally with the electric wire and the crimp terminal so as to coat the conductor, a circumference of a crimp connection portion of the crimp terminal and a circumference of the insulating coating adjacent to the crimp connection portion;
- and
- a release promoting member which is arranged on a front side of the crimp connection portion and a front end of the conductor and in a position of an upper surface of a front end portion of the anti-corrosive material, which is brought into close contact with an upper surface of an inner wall of a cavity in a mold for molding the anti-corrosive material when the anti-corrosive material is molded and which promotes release of the mold from the resin forming the anti-corrosive material when the mold is released.
