Crimping terminal having a contact plate strip
View Patent ↗A crimping terminal includes a pair of core wire crimping pieces raised up from a bottom plate. A contact strip is provided with gaps formed between the core wire crimping pieces and the contact strip for inserting core wires of an aluminum electric wire. The contact strip has a sloped wall or a curved wall for guiding the core wires from the gaps toward the bottom plate. The contact strip is formed in a flat plate shape, and has sloped walls at both left and right sides thereof. The contact strip is formed in an arc sectional shape, and has curved walls at both left and right sides thereof. The contact strip is formed in an inverted V sectional shape, and has sloped walls at both left and right sides thereof. The contact strips are arranged two-tiered. A serration is formed on the contact strip.
1. A crimping terminal comprising:
a pair of core wire crimping pieces raised up from a bottom plate;
an electric contact part extending from the bottom plate; and
at least one contact strip is interposed between the pair of core wire crimping pieces via a gap for inserting core wires of an electric wire,
wherein the contact strip has a sloped wall or a curved wall for guiding the core wires from the gap toward the bottom plate,
wherein the contact strip is integrally formed with the electric contact part or the core wire crimping pieces, and
wherein the contact strip is projected in a direction from the electric contact part toward the electric wire, the contact strip extending from a step portion which extends upward from the electric contact part.
2. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the contact strip is formed in a flat shape, and has the sloped walls at both left and right sides thereof.
3. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the contact strip is formed in an arc sectional shape, and has the curved walls at both left and right sides thereof.
4. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the contact strip is formed in an inverted V sectional shape, and has the sloped walls at both left and right sides thereof.
5. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of contact strips,
wherein the contact strips are arranged one above the other.
6. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein a serration is formed on the contact strip.
7. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the gap is arranged between a side of the at least one contact strip and one of the pair of core wire crimping pieces.
8. The crimping terminal as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the electric contact part comprises two circular plates overlapped with each other, and the step portion extends upward from a rear end of an upper one of the two circular plates.
