Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A terminal-equipped electrical wire includes a water-blocking material disposed between an inner side surface of an electrical wire connecting portion and a core wire to cover a distal end of the core wire, and the electrical wire connecting portion includes a bottom portion, a first crimping piece wrapped around the electrical wire, a second crimping piece wrapped around an outer side of the first crimping piece, and a plate-shaped protruding piece protruding from a side surface of the first crimping piece or the second crimping piece in an axial direction of the electrical wire, and the protruding piece is bent from a proximal end portion such that the protruding piece is closer to the distal end of the core wire toward a distal end side from a proximal end side of the protruding piece, and blocks at least a part of an opening of the electrical wire connecting portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A terminal-equipped electrical wire comprising: an electrical wire including a core wire and a cover covering the core wire, a distal end portion of the core wire being exposed from the cover; a terminal including an electrical wire connecting portion wrapped around the electrical wire to collectively cover the core wire and the cover; and a water-blocking material disposed between an inner side surface of the electrical wire connecting portion and the core wire to cover a distal end of the core wire, wherein the electrical wire connecting portion includes a bottom portion, a first crimping piece joined to one end of the bottom portion in a width direction and wrapped around the electrical wire to collectively cover the core wire and the cover, a second crimping piece joined to another end of the bottom portion in the width direction and wrapped around an outer side of the first crimping piece, and a plate-shaped protruding piece protruding from a side surface of the first crimping piece or the second crimping piece in an axial direction of the electrical wire, and the protruding piece is bent from a proximal end portion such that the protruding piece is closer to the distal end of the core wire toward a distal end side from a proximal end side of the protruding piece, and blocks at least a part of an opening of the electrical wire connecting portion.
