Patent ID: 10854998

Abstract:
A connection structure between an electric wire and a terminal has an electric wire including a core wire with strands, and a terminal including a bottom-plate portion and a pair of core-wire-crimping pieces, which protrude from both edges of the bottom-plate portion and each distal-end portion of the pair of core-wire-crimping pieces being divided into a plurality of portions, the terminal enclosing and holding the core wire by the bottom-plate portion and the pair of core-wire-crimping pieces. The pair of core-wire-crimping pieces extends in directions to approach each other at a proximal-end portion, is in contact with each other at an intermediate portion, and extends in directions to be separated from each other at the distal-end portion. At least one portion of the plurality of portions of each distal-end portion of the pair of core-wire-crimping pieces extend in a different direction from other portions of the distal-end portion.
