Abstract

A method for forming an electrical connection structure part according to the present invention includes a step of covering, with an alloy body, a connection part between a first conductor part and a second conductor part, so as to form the electrical connection structure part. The first conductor part contains aluminum. The second conductor part has a surface covered with an ingredient containing nickel. The alloy body contains tin, silver, and nickel. The method further includes steps of: connecting the first conductor part and the second conductor part to each other to form the connection part; melting the alloy body; and dipping at least the connection part into the molten alloy body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electrical connection structure part, comprising:
a first conductor part containing aluminum;
a second conductor part having a plating layer containing nickel; and
an alloy body covering a connection part between the first conductor part and the plating layer of the second conductor part so as to electrically connect the parts to each other, the alloy body containing tin, silver, and nickel.

2. A motor comprising: the electrical connection structure part as set forth in claim 1 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the electrical connection structure part is connected.

3. An electrical device comprising: the motor as set forth in claim 2 ; and a to-be-driven unit driven by the motor.

4. The electrical connection structure part according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the nickel in the alloy body is in a range of 0.2 weight percent to 0.6 weight percent.

5. The electrical connection structure part according to claim 4 , wherein the second conductor part is a copper-nickel alloy containing further copper.

6. The electrical connection structure part according to claim 4 , wherein the plating layer contains the nickel as a principal component.

7. A motor comprising: the electrical connection structure part as set forth in claim 4 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the electrical connection structure part is connected.

8. The electrical connection structure part according to claim 1 , wherein the second conductor part is a copper-nickel alloy containing further copper.

9. A motor comprising: the electrical connection structure part as set forth in claim 8 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the electrical connection structure part is connected.

10. The electrical connection structure part according to claim 1 , wherein the plating layer contains the nickel as a principal component.

11. A motor comprising: the electrical connection structure part as set forth in claim 10 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the electrical connection structure part is connected.

12. An aluminum wire with terminal, comprising:
an aluminum wire including:
a conductor part containing aluminum; and
a covering material including an insulating material to cover the conductor part;

a terminal attached to the conductor part, and having a plating layer containing nickel; and
an alloy body electrically connecting an uncovered portion of the conductor part to the plating layer of the terminal, and containing tin, silver, and nickel.

13. A motor comprising: the aluminum wire with terminal as set forth in claim 12 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the aluminum wire with terminal is connected.

14. An electrical device comprising: the motor as set forth in claim 13 ; and a to-be-driven unit driven by the motor.

15. The aluminum wire with terminal according to claim 12 , wherein a content of the nickel in the alloy body is in a range of 0.2 weight percent to 0.6 weight percent.

16. The aluminum wire with terminal according to claim 15 , wherein the terminal is formed with a copper-nickel alloy containing further copper.

17. The aluminum wire with terminal according to claim 15 , wherein the plating layer contains the nickel as a principal component.

18. A motor comprising: the aluminum wire with terminal as set forth in claim 15 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the aluminum wire with terminal is connected.

19. The aluminum wire with terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the terminal is formed with a copper-nickel alloy containing further copper.

20. A motor comprising: the aluminum wire with terminal as set forth in claim 19 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the aluminum wire with terminal is connected.

21. The aluminum wire with terminal according to claim 12 , wherein the plating layer contains the nickel as a principal component.

22. A motor comprising: the aluminum wire with terminal as set forth in claim 21 ; and a to-be-connected connection part to which the aluminum wire with terminal is connected.
