PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crimp terminal for an aluminum wire and a method of crimping a terminal of an aluminum wire which reduce a shearing force acting on a conductor portion of the aluminum wire to prevent the breakage of the core of the conductor portion, thus ensure the electrical connection reliability of the aluminum wire. SOLUTION: The crimp terminal 50 for the aluminum wire includes an inter-terminal connection portion 51, and a wire connection portion 52 which is formed to be continuous to the inter-terminal connection portion 51 and has a barrel 56 to be crimped to the conductor portion 54 of the aluminum wire 53. The barrel 56 of the wire connection portion 52 has a first end 71 located closer to the inter-terminal connection portion 51, and a second end 72 located opposite to the first end 71. The second end 72 has a relief portion 80 that is widened gradually to expand a holding area for the conductor portion 54. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
