Wire press-clamping method
View Patent ↗In a wire press-clamping method of press-clamping a conductor of a wire to a conductor press-clamping portion of a press-clamping terminal in electrically-connected relation thereto, there is used the press-clamping terminal having conductor press-fastening piece portions for press-fastening the conductor, and a press-clamping member is interposed between the conductor press-clamping portion and the conductor, and is press-fastened by the conductor press-fastening piece portions.
1. A terminal-connected wire comprising:
a wire that includes a conductor;
a press-clamping terminal that includes;
a conductive press-clamping terminal body;
an electrical connecting portion that is formed at an end portion of the press-clamping terminal body, and is connected to a mating terminal;
a conductor press-clamping portion that is formed at a portion corresponding to the conductor; and
conductor press-fastening piece portions that are extended from opposite sides of the conductor press-clamping portion in an axial direction; and
a conductive press-clamping member that is held in contact with the conductor,
wherein the press-clamping member is analogous in shape to a groove portion formed by the conductor press-clamping portion and the conductor press-fastening piece portions, and
wherein the conductor press-fastening piece portions is press-fastened to the press-clamping member, so that the conductor is electrically connected to the conductor press-clamping portion through the press-clamping member.
2. The terminal-connector wire according to claim 1 , wherein the member has a U-shape corresponding to the groove portion.
3. The terminal-connected wire according to claim 1 , wherein the press-clamping member includes a retaining portion that is engaged with the conductor press-fastening piece portions.
4. The terminal-connected wire according to claim 1 , wherein length of the press-clamping member is substantially equal to length of the conductor press-fastening piece portion in the axial direction.
5. The terminal-connected wire according to claim 1 , wherein the press-clamping member includes serrations which are arranged on an surface that is held contact with the conductor, and extend in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction.
6. The terminal-connected wire according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wire includes a sheath that covers the conductor, and the press-clamping terminal includes sheath press fastening piece portions that are extended from opposite sides of a portion opposed to the electrical connecting portion of the press-clamping terminal body in the axial direction, and
wherein the sheath press-fastening piece portions are press fastened to the sheath.
