TERMINAL, CRIMPING TERMINAL, WIRE HARNESS AND CRIMPING TERMINAL PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

Provided are a terminal, a crimping terminal, a wire harness and a crimping terminal production method such that local deformation or decrease in strength is suppressed and moisture penetration into the conductor portion of a coated conductor wire is adequately suppressed. The crimping terminal (10) is characterized by the weld trajectory followed when laser welding is carried out in an overlapping portion (Te) formed in a transition portion (13). That is to say, in the overlapping portion (Te) of the crimping terminal (10) of the present embodiment, the weld trajectory for laser welding comprises a curve, a plurality of straight lines or intermittently formed lines.
