Aluminum cable provided with crimping terminal
View Patent ↗A crimping portion includes a first crimping portion including a conductor crimping portion and a conductor enveloping portion that is integrally connected to the conductor crimping portion and envelops a portion of a conductor in the vicinity of an insulating covering portion, and a second crimping portion that is separate from the first crimping portion and crimped to the insulating covering portion in the vicinity of the conductor. A gap between the first crimping portion and the second crimping portion is sealed with a sealer, and thus the first crimping portion and the second crimping portion are integrally interconnected to each other.
1. An aluminum cable with crimping terminal comprising:
an aluminum cable including a conductor formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy and an insulating covering portion that envelops an outer periphery of the conductor, and a crimping terminal including a crimping portion that is crimped to the aluminum cable and electrically connected to the aluminum cable, wherein
the crimping portion includes a first crimping portion including a conductor crimping portion that is crimped to the conductor exposed by removing the insulating covering portion on the crimping terminal of the aluminum cable, and a conductor enveloping portion that is integrally connected to the conductor crimping portion along an extending direction of the aluminum cable, and deformed when being crimped to the aluminum cable in substantially the same shape as a case of being crimped to the insulating covering portion so as to envelop a portion of the conductor in a vicinity of the insulating covering portion, and
a second crimping portion that is formed of a tubular metallic member separate from the first crimping portion, and crimped to an outer peripheral surface of the insulating covering portion in a vicinity of the conductor of the aluminum cable that is inserted into the tube, and wherein
the first crimping portion and the second crimping portion are integrally interconnected to each other by sealing a gap of the first crimping portion that is crimped to the aluminum cable with a sealer, and by sealing a gap between the first crimping portion and the second crimping portion with the sealer.
2. The aluminum cable with crimping terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the second crimping portion has the same thickness as the first crimping portion.
3. The aluminum cable with crimping terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the sealer is a conductive material.
4. The aluminum cable with crimping terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the conductor enveloping portion is integrally connected to the conductor crimping portion along an extending direction of the aluminum cable without a gap between the conductor enveloping portion and the conductor crimping portion.
5. The aluminum cable with crimping terminal according to claim 1 , wherein
the sealer is a conductive material, and the conductor enveloping portion is integrally connected to the conductor crimping portion along an extending direction of the aluminum cable without a gap between the conductor enveloping portion and the conductor crimping portion.
