Patent ID: 8628363

Claim:
A crimped electric wire with a terminal, comprising: an electric wire having a core wire made of aluminum or aluminum alloy; and a terminal fitting made of a copper alloy and having an electric wire crimping section for crimping the core wire partly exposed from the electric wire; a value obtained by dividing a height of the electric wire crimping section measured parallel to a crimping direction by a width of the electric wire crimping section measured transverse to the height after the crimping of the electric wire crimping section defining a height to width ratio in a range of 0.5 to 0.6; a value obtained by dividing a gross cross-sectional area of the core wire after the crimping of the electric wire crimping section by a gross cross-sectional area of the core wire before the crimping of the electric wire crimping section defining a compression ratio in a range of 55% to 65%; and a total length of the terminal fitting after crimping is less than 4% longer than a length of the terminal fitting before crimping.
