Abstract:
The present invention seeks to provide a technology that crimps a terminal and a conductive member configured by a plurality of metal strands together in a more stable state. A method of manufacturing a terminal-equipped conductive member is performed using a die, which includes a first die having a projection and a second die, the second die having a depression into which the projection can be inserted, and having a pair of side wall surfaces of the depression which include a first molding surface inclined along an inner surface of a pair of crimping tabs of a pre-crimping terminal, the method including a welding step of arranging in the die a welded portion formation region, which is a region on an extension direction portion of a conductive member, and welding the plurality of metal strands together; and a crimping step of crimping the welded portion and the terminal together.

Claim (Index 5):
A conductive member configured by a plurality of metal strands and having a pair of crimping tabs of a terminal crimped thereto, wherein\n the conductive member includes a welded portion where at least a portion in an extension direction of the plurality of metal strands is welded, an outer surface on each of two lateral sides of the welded portion includes an inclined surface that inclines gradually outward, the incline progressing from one side of a thickness direction to the other so as to lie along an inner surface of the pair of crimping tabs of the terminal prior to crimping, and the welded portion includes an outer layer that is formed on an outer circumferential surface side of the welded portion by welding the plurality of metal strands together and, on an inner side of the outer layer, at least a portion of the plurality of metal strands are made capable of untwining due to crimping the terminal.
