Terminal connection structure for electric wire
A terminal connection structure for an electric wire includes a first terminal having a first extension section extended from a first connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and connected to the first terminal member of a mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire and a second terminal having a second extension section extended from a second connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and connected to the second terminal member of the mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire, the first extension section and the second extension section being disposed coaxially so as to be opposed to each other and to form a nearly cylindrical shape.
1. A terminal connection structure for an electric wire, in which terminals are connected to an internal conductor and an external conductor respectively in the electric wire, the electric wire comprising the internal conductor which is covered with a first insulating cover and the external conductor which is provided coaxially with the internal conductor to surround an outer circumference of the first insulating cover and covered with a second insulating cover, the terminal connection structure comprising:
a first terminal comprising a first connection section which is connected to a part where the first insulating cover has been peeled so that the internal conductor is exposed and a first extension section which is extended from the first connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and is connected to a first terminal member of a mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire; and
a second terminal comprising a second connection section which is connected to a part where the second insulating cover has been peeled so that the external conductor is exposed and a second extension section which is extended from the second connection section in a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and is connected to a second terminal member of the mating connection device to be connected to the electric wire,
wherein the first extension section of the first terminal and the second extension section of the second terminal are disposed coaxially so as to be opposed to each other and to form a nearly cylindrical shape.
2. The terminal connection structure for an electric wire according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first spring section that has a nearly semi-cylindrical shape and contacts with the first extension section and the first terminal member so that the first extension section is electrically connected to the first terminal member; and
a second spring section that has a nearly semi-cylindrical shape contacts with the second extension section and the second terminal member so that the second extension section is electrically connected to the second terminal member,
wherein the first spring section and the second spring section are disposed coaxially so as to be opposed to each other and to form a nearly cylindrical shape.
3. The terminal connection structure for an electric wire according to claim 1 , further comprising:
an insulation section disposed between the first terminal and the second terminal; and
a housing member that surrounds an outer circumference of the first terminal and an outer circumference of the second terminal, and the first terminal and the second terminal being received coaxially so as to be separated from each other.
4. The terminal connection structure for an electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein the first terminal and the second terminal are disposed coaxially in a bent direction bent from an extension direction of the electric wire.
5. The terminal connection structure for an electric wire according to claim 4 , further comprising:
a sealing member that seals the first terminal and the second terminal from the outside,
wherein the sealing member comprises a bottom section and a lid section which are configured to be separated in the bent direction, and the bottom section and the lid section are assembled and integrated.
