Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In the invention, an upper die ( 18 ) includes an anti-extrusion projection ( 17 ) that projects toward a signal conductor ( 14 ) placed on an upper side of a terminal forming piece ( 12 ) loaded on a lower die ( 19 ) and a die inner wall surface ( 18 a ) that situated on either side of the anti-extrusion projection ( 17 ) and that folds the terminal forming piece ( 12 ). When the terminal forming piece ( 12 ) is crimped to the signal conductor ( 14 ) by means of the upper die ( 18 ) and the lower die ( 19 ), the anti-extrusion projection ( 17 ) presses the signal conductor ( 14 ) downward, and the die inner wall surfaces ( 18 a ) fold the terminal forming piece ( 12 ) such that both ends of the terminal forming piece ( 12 ) come close to the anti-extrusion projection ( 17 ).
