Patent ID: 10862254

Abstract:
A coated conductive wire connecting method includes: making an end of a sheet-type conductive member accommodated in a sheet-type conductive member accommodating portion through a sheet-type conductive member insertion opening of a housing; holding a coated conductive wire by a coated conductive wire holding portion of the housing; and making a pressure contact terminal accommodated in a pressure contact terminal accommodating portion whereupon an edge of a terminal-side slit cuts and tears an insulating part of the coated conductive wire to electrically connect the pressure contact terminal to a conductor part of the coated conductive wire, while a spring contact of the pressure contact terminal elastically deformed passes over a step portion formed within the housing and elastically presses the sheet-type conductive member against an inner wall surface of the sheet-type conductive member accommodating portion to electrically connect the pressure contact terminal to the sheet-type conductive member.
