Patent ID: 6867372

Claim:
A terminal for an automobile power cable made of Al alloy which is consisting essentially of: Zr: 0.03 to 0.4 wt. %, Si: 0.05 to 0.15 wt. %, and balance being Al and inevitable impurities; wherein said terminal for the automobile power cable comprises a cylindrical terminal connected to a stranded wire in said automobile power cable, the stranded wire formed of a plurality of high conductive Al alloy strands each consisting essentially of: Zr: 0.05 to 0.4 wt. %, Fe: 0.05 to 0.2 wt %, Si: 0.05 to 0.2 wt. %, a total amount of one or at least two kinds selected from a group consisting of Be, Sr, Mg, Ti and V: 0.003 to 0.05 wt. %, and balance being Al and inevitable impurities; at least one insulation layer for covering said stranded wire and at least one shield layer formed of a braid containing more than 99 wt. % of Al; wherein said terminal is coated over its surface adapted to be made into contact with the stranded wire of the power cable, with a Ni layer, and is formed therein with locking grooves having a depth of greater than 0.1 mm.
