Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An ultrasonic jointing method is provided for performing an ultrasonic joint of a conductor part which is exposed by removing a coating of an electric wire with respect to a terminal. The ultrasonic jointing method includes: holding the conductor part of the electric wire and the terminal between an anvil and a horn in which a concave part is formed; and applying an ultrasonic vibration to the conductor part of the electric wire and the terminal that are held between the anvil and the horn. The conductor part is received in the concave part which has a space area of 0.89 to 1.46 times as large as a cross-sectional area of the conductor part of the electric wire.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An ultrasonic jointing method for performing an ultrasonic joint of a conductor part which is exposed by removing a coating of an electric wire with respect to a terminal, the ultrasonic jointing method comprising: holding the conductor part of the electric wire and the terminal between an anvil and a horn in which a concave part is formed; and applying an ultrasonic vibration to the conductor part of the electric wire and the terminal that are held between the anvil and the horn, wherein the conductor part is received in the concave part which has a space area of 0.89 to 1.46 times as large as a cross-sectional area of the conductor part of the electric wire. 2. The ultrasonic jointing method according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal has a flat-plate shape that excludes sidewalls for restricting movement of the conductor part on a surface that faces the conductor part of the electric wire. 3. The ultrasonic jointing method according to claim 1 , wherein the concave part has, in cross-section, either a trapezoidal shape or a semicircular shape. 4. The ultrasonic jointing method according to claim 1 , wherein the concave part has a trapezoidal shape in one cross-section and a semi-circular shape in another cross-section. 5. The ultrasonic jointing method according to claim 1 , wherein the concave part has a cross-section comprising a semi-circular shape. 6. The ultrasonic jointing method according to claim 1 , wherein the concave part has a cross-section comprising a trapezoidal shape.
