Abstract:
An ultrasonic welding terminal for electrical connection with a covered wire having core lines covered with an insulating cover, said ultrasonic welding terminal comprising:a bottom plate having a first end and a second end in the form of a sheet metal;an elastic contact piece arranged in a part of said ultrasonic welding terminal where said core lines are to be electrically connected, said elastic contact piece connected to said bottom plate and formed so as to produce an opposing force in response to an initial force exerted against the elastic contact piece, the opposing force exerted in a direction away from said bottom plate, said elastic contact piece formed by folding, at a folding point, the second end of the bottom plate upwards and towards the first end of the bottom plate so as to overlap with a remaining portion of said bottom plate between the first end of the bottom plate and the folding point, said bottom plate extending beyond said elastic contact piece in a direction away from the folding point; andan elastic pusher plate which is arranged above said elastic contact piece in a manner that said covered wire is interposed between said elastic pusher plate and said elastic contact piece, wherein said elastic pusher plate is formed by folding another part of said bottom plate so as to overlap with said remaining part of said bottom plate.
