Terminal-attached wire and terminal

摘要

A terminal (15) of a terminal-attached wire (10), in which the terminal (15) is connected to an end portion of a wire (11) and the end portion is sealed by a heat shrinkable tube (33), includes a terminal connecting portion (16) to be connected to a mating terminal, a wire connecting portion (18) to be connected to the end portion of the wire (11) and a coupling portion (22) coupling the terminal connecting portion (16) and the wire connecting portion (18) An opening end (33A) of the heat shrinkable tube (33) is mounted on the coupling portion (22), and a draining portion (32) for preventing adhering water from running down to the opening end (33A) is provided on a side closer to the terminal connecting portion (16) than the opening end (33A).

主权项

1. A terminal-attached wire comprising:
a wire having an end portion; a heat shrinkable tube that is a waterproof tube and that seals the end portion of the wire and has an opening edge and an inner peripheral surface adjacent the opening edge; and a terminal connected to the end portion of the wire, the terminal including:
a terminal connecting portion to be connected to a mating terminal,a wire connecting portion to be connected to the end portion of the wire, the terminal connecting portion and the wire connecting portion being spaced apart along a longitudinal direction, anda coupling portion coupling the terminal connecting portion and the wire connecting portion, the coupling portion including:
a bottom having opposite first and second sides,first and second side walls extending respectively from the opposite first and second sides of the bottom,first and second water-stop pieces extending respectively from ends of the first and second opposite side walls remote from the bottom and being bent inward from the opposite side walls along outer bend lines that extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction, each of the water-stop pieces further being bent at a location spaced from the respective side wall about an inner bend line that extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction so that a free end of the respective water-stop piece is opposed to and facing the bottom of the coupling portion, a mount portion being defined on an outer peripheral surface of each of the water stop pieces and the side walls, the mount portion extending from the bottom of the coupling portion to the inner bend lines, the opening edge of the heat shrinkable tube terminating on the mount portion and the inner peripheral surface of the heat shrinkable tube adjacent the opening edge of the heat shrinkable tube closely contacting the mount portion, anda draining portion provided on a side closer to the terminal connecting portion than the opening edge of the heat shrinkable tube for preventing water from running from a terminal connecting portion side to the opening edge of the heat shrinkable tube.
