TERMINAL METAL FITTING, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING CABLE WITH TERMINAL METAL FITTING, AND TERMINAL-CRIMPING MOLD

摘要

A terminal metal fitting (10, 30, Ta, Tb, Tc) comprises: a cable connection portion (40, 113) for connecting the core wire (21, Wa) of a cable (20, W) by crimping; and at least two strong crimping portions (50 (50A to 50C), 114, 116) formed by applying pressure to parts of the cable connection portion (40, 113) so as to be spaced in the axial direction of the cable (20, W) and crimped to the cable (20, W) at a predetermined compression rate.  It is possible to break the oxide coat of the core wire (21, Wa) in the parts crimped at the strong crimping portions (50 (50A to 50C), 114, 116).  In addition, as compared with the case in which the entire cable connection portion (40, 113) is crimped with a strong force, it is possible to reduce the extension occurring in a bottom plate portion (48, 114a, 116a).
