Abstract

Provided is an electric wire with a terminal ( 1 ), in which a resin portion ( 4 ) molded by a die covers a conductor exposure portion of a terminal ( 3 ) to which a conductor is connected. At least groove portion ( 16 ) is provided at a part of the terminal ( 3 ) covered with the resin portion ( 4 ) so that the groove portion ( 16 ) prevents the resin portion ( 4 ) from separating from the terminal ( 3 ) in a removing direction of the die after the resin portion ( 4 ) is molded by the die.

Claims (15)

1. An electrical connection system comprising:

an electric wire,

a terminal having a conductor exposure portion, to which a conductor of the electric wire is connected, and a separation preventing portion,

a resin portion, which is molded by a die, and covers the conductor exposure portion and the separation prevention portion of the terminal, wherein

the separation preventing portion is provided on an inner face of a side wall of the terminal at a part of the terminal covered with the resin portion so that after the resin portion is molded by the die, the separation preventing portion prevents the resin portion from separating from the terminal in a removing direction of the die.

2. The electrical connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the separation preventing portion is further provided in a bottom wall of the terminal at the part covered with the resin portion.

3. The electrical connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the separation preventing portion includes a groove portion or a protrusion portion which is formed to have a width in the removing direction of the die and to be longer in a direction intersecting with the removing direction of the die than the width.

4. The electrical connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the separation preventing portion includes a bent portion which is formed by bending a front end of the side wall of the terminal inward.

5. The electrical connection system according to claim 1 , wherein the separation preventing portion has an opening portion which is bored and formed in the side wall of the terminal.

6. The electrical connection system according to claim 2 , wherein the separation preventing portion has an opening portion which is bored and formed in the bottom wall of the terminal; and

wherein the resin portion is formed so as to enter the opening portion, and formed to cover an outer face of the bottom wall of the terminal.

7. The electrical connection system according to claim 6 , wherein a lock portion is formed into an arch shape so as to be joined to opposite ends of the opening portion.

8. The electrical connection system according to claim 3 , wherein convex portions or concave portions are formed into a grid pattern in the separation prevention portion and the bottom wall of the terminal.

9. The electrical connection system according to claim 4 , wherein convex portions or concave portions are formed into a grid pattern in the separation prevention portion and the bottom wall of the terminal.

10. The electrical connection system according to claim 5 , wherein convex portions or concave portions are formed into a grid pattern in the separation prevention portion and the bottom wall of the terminal.
