Abstract:
1. A connection structure of a crimping terminal to an electric wire, wherein the crimping terminal comprises: an electric connection part for making connection to the other terminal in a front of the crimping terminal; and an electric wire connection part formed in substantially a U shape in crosssection view and having a base plate part and a pair of electric wire crimp pieces in a back of the electric connection part, the electric wire crimp pieces upwardly extended from both lateral edges of the base plate part and crimped so as to obtain a state in which a distal end of the electric wire is brought into close contact with an upper surface of the base plate part by inwardly bending the electric wire crimp pieces so as to wrap the distal end of the electric wire to be connected; wherein a metallic cap whose inner periphery is provided with a serration is attached to a conductor exposed by removing a portion of an insulating coating of the distal end of the electric wire so as to cover a range to the coating portion of the electric wire, and the conductor and the insulating coating of the electric wire are bitten into the serration by crimping the electric wire crimp pieces so as to surround the cap, wherein the cap is closed at a first end in a longitudinal direction and open at an opposing end.
