Abstract

A crimping structure includes a crimping terminal that has a base plate and a crimping blade part on the base plate, a coated electric wire that has a conductor which is electrically connected to the crimping blade part by crimping the coated electric wire to the crimping blade, and is bend to be formed into a mountain-like shape whose top part is a connecting part where the conductor and the crimping blade part are connected, and an insulative resin part that covers a part of the coated electric wire from the top part to hem parts at two sides of the mountain-like shape and the crimping blade part.

Claims (27)

1. A crimping structure comprising:

a crimping terminal that has a base plate and a crimping blade part on the base plate;

a coated electric wire that has a conductor which is electrically connected to the crimping blade part by crimping the coated electric wire to the crimping blade part, and is bent to be formed into a mountain-like shape whose apex is a connecting part where the conductor and the crimping blade part are connected; and

an insulative resin part that covers a part of the coated electric wire from the apex to hem parts at two sides of the mountain-like shape and the crimping blade part.

2. The crimping structure according to claim 1 , wherein the insulative resin part is integrally molded.

3. The crimping structure according to claim 2 , wherein the crimping blade part is a protruded piece protruded from one side part of the base plate.

4. A crimping structure comprising:

a crimping terminal comprising a base plate and a crimping blade part disposed on the base plate; and

an insulating resin part,

wherein, when a coated electric wire is crimped by the crimping blade part, the crimping blade part electrically connects to the coated electrical wire by crimping the coated electric wire, the coated electrical wire is bent to form into a mountain-like shape within the insulating resin part, and the crimping blade part is connected to an apex of the mountain-like shape of the coated electric wire, and

wherein the insulating resin part is configured to cover a part of the coated electric wire from the apex to bases of the mountain-like shape of the coated electrical wire formed within the insulating resin part.

5. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the mountain-like shape is formed the mountain-like shape of the coated electrical wire comprises two slanted sides meeting at the apex.

6. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the mountain-like shape is formed by bending the coated electrical wire, the apex being disposed at the bend of the coated electrical wire.

7. The crimping structure according to claim 6 , the coated electrical wire is bent at an acute angle.

8. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the crimping terminal comprises a single crimping blade part.

9. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the crimping terminal comprises a plurality of crimping blade parts configured to individually crimp respective coated electrical wires of a plurality of electrical wires.

10. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the crimping terminal further comprises a ring-type terminal electrically connected to the crimping blade part, the ring-type terminal being configured to protrude from the insulating resin part when the coated electric wire is crimped by the crimping blade part.

11. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the crimping terminal further comprises an LA terminal electrically connected to the crimping blade part, the LA terminal being configured to protrude from the insulating resin part when the coated electric wire is crimped by the crimping blade part.

12. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating resin part is configured to receive the coated electrical wire before the coated electrical wire is crimped by the blade part.

13. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating resin part is formed separately from the crimping terminal.

14. The crimping structure according to claim 4 , wherein the insulating resin part comprises a rib disposed on an outside of the insulating resin corresponding to a position of the coated electrical wire within the insulating resin when the coated electric wire is disposed in the insulating resin.

15. A crimping structure comprising:

a crimping terminal comprising a base plate and a crimping blade part disposed on the base plate; and

an insulating resin part,

wherein, when a coated electric wire is crimped by the crimping blade part, the crimping blade part electrically connects to the coated electrical wire by crimping the coated electric wire, the coated electrical wire is bent to form into a substantially triangular shape within the insulating resin part, and the crimping blade part is connected to an apex of the substantially triangular shape of the coated electric wire, and

wherein the insulating resin part is configured to cover a part of the coated electric wire from the apex to bases of the substantially triangular shape of the coated electrical wire formed within the insulating resin part.

16. The crimping structure according to claim 15 , wherein the insulating resin part is shaped substantially like a triangular prism.
