CRIMP TERMINAL AND ELECTRIC WIRE WITH CRIMP TERMINAL

摘要

A crimp terminal includes an F-type crimp portion and a C-type crimp portion. The F-type crimp portion has first and second barrel tabs, preferably with an identical length, for crimping a tip end of a complex stranded wire. The F-type crimp portion is adapted to have distal ends of the first and second barrel tabs put together and pushed into the tip end of the complex stranded wire to be crimped. The C-type crimp portion has a third barrel tab for crimping the complex stranded wire. The third barrel tab is wound in a C-form on an outer periphery of the complex stranded wire to be crimped. The arrangement provides a crimp terminal and an electric wire with crimp terminal, that prevents or reduces increases in retained resistance at a crimp portion, and can also prevent an electric wire from slipping out of a crimp terminal.

主权项

1. A crimp terminal of an open barrel type adapted to fix, by crimping, an electric wire including a complex stranded wire involving a set of conductor element wires wound on an outer periphery of a reinforcement wire, the reinforcement wire having a strength greater than strengths of the conductor element wires, the crimp terminal comprising:
an F-type crimp portion comprising a first and a second barrel tab, the first and the second barrel tab being disposed at opposite locations, with a longitudinal centerline of the complex stranded wire to be crimped in between, the first and the second barrel tab having an identical length, the F-type crimp portion being configured to have distal ends of the first and the second barrel tab put together to push into a tip end of the complex stranded wire to be crimped; and a C-type crimp portion comprising a third barrel tab adapted to crimp the complex stranded wire, the C-type crimp portion being configured to have the third barrel tab wrapped in a C-form on an outer periphery of the complex stranded wire to be crimped.
