METHOD FOR CRIMPING PLATED TERMINAL

摘要

To improve electrical connection performance by accelerating adhesion of a crimping terminal (10) to an aluminum conductor (Wa) of an aluminum cable (W) by crimping, prior to crimping the aluminum conductor (Wa) of the aluminum cable (W) to a conductor crimping section (13) of the crimping terminal (10) whose terminal base material surface is plated with tin to improve electrical connection performance, the conductor crimping section (13) of the crimping terminal (10) is preheated to a temperature at which the plated tin softens and the aluminum cable (Wa) does not soften (specifically, 100-150°C). Then, in a state where the plated tin is softened, the conductor crimping section (13) is crimped to the aluminum conductor (Wa) of the aluminum cable (W).
