Abstract

A connector terminal ( 10 ) includes a terminal main body that includes a barrel portion ( 21 ) to which a core wire ( 12 ) exposed from an outer cover ( 13 ) of an electric cable ( 11 ) is electrically connected, and a tab terminal portion ( 31 ) that is electrically connected to a mating terminal, and a resin mold ( 15 ) that covers the barrel portion ( 21 ) and an end portion of the electric cable ( 11 ). The connector terminal ( 10 ) is inserted in a cavity ( 52 ) formed in a housing ( 51 ) and then accommodated in the housing ( 51 ) so that a rear end portion of the resin mold ( 15 ) is arranged in the inside of the cavity ( 52 ).

Claims (10)

1. A connecting structure, comprising a connector terminal and a housing including a cavity, the connector terminal, comprising:

a terminal main body that includes a barrel portion to which a conductor exposed from an outer cover of an electric cable is electrically connected, and a tab terminal portion to be electrically connected to a mating terminal; and

a resin mold that covers the barrel portion and an end portion of the electric cable,

wherein the connector terminal, including the terminal main body and the resin mold thereon, is inserted in the cavity of the housing and accommodated in the housing so that a rear end portion of the resin mold is arranged inside the cavity.

2. The connecting structure according to claim 1 ,

wherein a dimension from a rear end of the terminal main body to the rear end of the resin mold is equal to or less than a diameter of the electric cable.

3. A connector terminal, comprising:

a terminal main body that includes a barrel portion to which a conductor exposed from an outer cover of an electric cable is electrically connected, and a tab terminal portion to be electrically connected to a mating terminal; and
