A terminal for a cable and method for mounting a terminal

摘要

To provide a terminal which is stably mountable at a predetermined position of the leading end of a coaxial cable. ÄSolutionÜ A barrel portion 7 to be crimped into connection with a coaxial cable 2 is provided at a rear side of a terminal 1. A cover portion 11 is integrally provided before the barrel portion 7 for covering an exposed section of a core 3. A positioning portion 12 is formed by embossing between the barrel portion 7 and the cover portion 11. When the terminal 1 is mounted on one end of the cable 2 to which stripping has been applied in advance, the front end of a folded section 5A comes into contact with a locking edge 12C of the positioning portion 12, thereby restricting any further insertion of the coaxial cable 2. Thus, the terminal 1 can be automatically positioned on the coaxial cable 2 with respect to the longitudinal direction of the coaxial cable 2.
