Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A crimp terminal includes a conductor crimping portion having a U-shaped cross section and including a bottom plate and a pair of conductor caulking pieces extending upward from both side edges of the bottom plate. The other conductor caulking piece includes a bending portion being folded and is formed so that a tip positioned at a tip side from the bending portion faces downward. A pair of the conductor caulking pieces is bent inward so that the one conductor caulking piece overlaps on an upper side of the other conductor caulking piece and a conductor of an electrical wire to be connected is wrapped, and thereby a pair of the conductor caulking pieces caulks the conductor so as to closely contact on an upper surface of the bottom plate. Therefore, it is prevented that the conductor caulking piece opens after being caulked.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A crimp terminal, comprising: a conductor crimping portion having a U-shaped cross section and including a bottom plate and a pair of conductor caulking pieces extending upward from both side edges of the bottom plate, wherein one conductor caulking piece includes a bending portion being folded and is formed so that a tip positioned at a tip side from the bending portion faces downward, the pair of the conductor caulking pieces is bent inward so that the one conductor caulking piece overlaps on an upper side of the other conductor caulking piece and a conductor of an electrical wire to be connected is wrapped, and thereby the pair of the conductor caulking pieces caulks the conductor so as to closely contact on an upper surface of the bottom plate. 2 . A crimping structure with respect to an electrical wire of a crimp terminal, comprising: the crimp terminal according to claim 1 ; and the electrical wire in which the crimp terminal is crimped, wherein the pair of the conductor caulking pieces caulks the conductor so that the tip of the other conductor caulking piece sticks into the conductor. 3 . The crimping structure with respect to the electrical wire of the crimp terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the tip of the other conductor caulking piece sticks into the conductor in a state of being substantially orthogonally bent at the bending portion. 4 . The crimping structure with respect to the electrical wire of the crimp terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the electrical wire is an aluminum wire including a conductor made of aluminum or aluminum alloy as the conductor. 5 . The crimping structure with respect to the electrical wire of the crimp terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the electrical wire is an aluminum wire including a conductor made of aluminum or aluminum alloy as the conductor.
