TERMINAL STRUCTURE FOR A WIRE HARNESS

摘要

The disclosed terminal structure for a wire harness for use in a vehicle exhibits a high degree of corrosion prevention. In a terminal region of a jacketed electric wire (10), a caulk section (1A) formed at one end of a connector (1) is caulked along the outside of a jacket part of said jacketed electric wire (10), affixing the connector (1) to the terminal part of the jacketed electric wire (10). At a minimum, the entire circumference of an end exposed region (a region including a break plane (1r) and a base edge (1e)) of the caulk section (1A) and the vicinity thereof is completely covered, forming a resin part (20). The resin part (20) is formed from a material that consists primarily of a thermoplastic polyamide resin and exhibits a tensile lap-shear strength in aluminum-to-aluminum bonding of at least 6 N/mm², as measured pursuant to JIS K6850, an elongation percentage of at least 100%, as measured pursuant to ASTM D-1708, and a water-absorption rate of at most 1.0%, as measured pursuant to JIS K7209.
