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.

Claim (Index 5):
A connection method for connecting an electric wire and a terminal, the connection method comprising:\n removing a sheath at a part of an electric wire that includes a core wire with a plurality of strands and a sheath covering the core wire; installing the core wire exposed by removing the sheath onto a core-wire-crimping portion that includes a bottom-plate portion and a pair of core-wire-crimping pieces protruding from both edges of the bottom-plate portion and having distal-end portions divided into a plurality of portions such that at least one portion of the plurality of portions of each distal-end portion extend in a different direction from other portions of the distal-end portion; and enclosing and holding the core wire by the bottom-plate portion and the pair of core-wire-crimping pieces such that the pair of core-wire-crimping pieces extend in directions to approach each other at a proximal-end portion, are in contact with each other at an intermediate portion, and extend in directions to be separated from each other at the distal-end portion, and at least one portion of the plurality of portions of each distal-end portion extend in the different direction from the other portions of the distal-end portion, after installing the core wire on the core-wire-crimping portion.
