Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of connecting a wire with a terminal including a plurality of conductors is provided. The method includes: positioning the terminal by holding a part of the terminal between an upper side jig and a lower side jig; and connecting the wire and one of a plurality of conductors, which is exposed on a surface of the positioned terminal. The terminal includes a laminate structure that includes an insulator interposed between a first conductor and a second conductor. The part of the terminal held in the positioning of the terminal includes a pressure receiving area, where a contact area between the upper side jig and an upper surface of the terminal and a contact area between the lower side jig and a lower surface of the terminal overlap. The laminate structure exists outside of the pressure receiving area, and does not exist in the pressure receiving area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of connecting a wire with a terminal including a plurality of conductors, the method comprising: positioning the terminal by holding a part of the terminal between an upper side jig and a lower side jig; and connecting the wire and one of the plurality of conductors, which is exposed on a surface of the positioned terminal, wherein the terminal comprises a laminate structure that comprises an insulator interposed between a first conductor and a second conductor, the part of the terminal held in the positioning of the terminal comprises a pressure receiving area, where a contact area between the upper side jig and an upper surface of the terminal and a contact area between the lower side jig and a lower surface of the terminal overlap, and the laminate structure exists outside of the pressure receiving area, and does not exist in the pressure receiving area.
