CONNECTION STRUCTURE, TERMINAL CRIMPING MEMBER, WIRE HARNESS, CONNECTOR, METHOD FOR CRIMPING CONNECTION STRUCTURE, AND CRIMPING DEVICE FOR CRIMPING SAME

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide: a connection structure that can be crimped/connected in a desired crimping shape to the wire tip section of a covered wire without causing the deformation into an unintended crimping shape of the crimping section of a crimped terminal; a terminal crimping member; a wire harness; a connector; a method for crimping a connection structure; and a crimping device for crimping same. When crimping the conductive crimping section (30a) of a crimping section (30) of a female crimping terminal (10) to a wire tip section (200a) of a covered wire (200), the outer peripheral contact section (623) of a top mold (62) and the outer peripheral contact section (613, 613) of a bottom mold (61) in a crimping device (60A) are point-contacted to the outer periphery of the conductive crimping section (30a) in a perpendicular cross-sectional plane in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction (X) and crimping direction (Z) in a manner so as to be left-right symmetrical with a baseline plane formed by the lengthwise direction (X) and crimping direction (Z) as the baseline. It is possible to crimp/connect the conductive crimping section (30a) to the conductive tip section (201a) of an aluminum core wire (201) by deforming the conductive crimping section (30a) to a desired crimping shape without generating turning, torsion, or the like when crimping the conductive crimping section (30a).
