Crimping terminal for connection between electric cables

摘要

The present invention discloses a crimping terminal which can interrupt immersion of water in an electric cable and maintain a waterproof function of a mating member, thereby enhancing reliability of connection between electric cables. A crimping terminal 10 is provided on each of cylindrical opposite ends with a crimping portion 11 having an insertion hole 12 with a bottom, which receives core wires e in an electric cable C. A solid body is formed between the crimping portions 11 in a liquid-tight manner. Preferably, the crimping terminal 10 is used together with a thermal-shrinkable tube 15 having an adhesive on its inner surface so that the thermal-shrinkable tube 15 comes into close contact with outer surfaces of the crimping portions and electric cables C.
