Connecting structure of crimp terminal and electric wire
A structure for connecting a crimp terminal and an electric wire includes: a crimp terminal that includes a conductor crimping portion and a coating crimping portion serially and includes an electric wire connector that is to be crimped to the electric wire; and a water stop sheet having an opening for bringing a conductor into contact with the conductor crimping portion, and laid between the electric wire connector and the electric wire. When a joint is swaged and crimped, the swaged and crimped joint has a second included angle θ 2 between the bottom plate and a second line that is larger than a first included angle θ 1 between the bottom plate and a first line in a cross section that is perpendicular to a bottom plate of the electric wire connector and that includes an electric wire axial line.
1. A connecting structure of a crimp terminal and an electric wire, the connecting structure comprising:
a crimp terminal that includes a conductor crimping portion and a coating crimping portion serially, the conductor crimping portion being configured to crimp a conductor of the electric wire, the coating crimping portion being configured to crimp the electric wire from an outer circumference of a coating, the crimp terminal including an electric wire connector configured to be crimped to the electric wire; and
a water-proofing material having an opening for bringing the conductor into contact with the conductor crimping portion, having a size capable of surrounding the conductor that is to be crimped and the coating, and laid between the electric wire connector and the electric wire, wherein
when a joint disposed between the conductor crimping portion and the coating crimping portion is swaged and crimped, the swaged and crimped joint has a second included angle that is larger than a first included angle in a cross section that is perpendicular to a bottom plate of the electric wire connector and that includes an electric wire axial line, the first included angle being an included angle between the bottom plate and a first line connecting a conductor crimping portion rear end point of the electric wire connector and a point corresponding to a position of a coating front end of the coating in an axial direction of the electric wire, and the second included angle being an included angle between the bottom plate and a second line connecting the conductor crimping portion rear end point and a coating crimping portion tip point of the electric wire connector.
2. The connecting structure of the crimp terminal and the electric wire according to claim 1 , wherein
the joint has a smaller interval between the conductor crimping portion rear end point and the coating crimping portion tip point in the direction of the electric wire axial line, the interval being smaller than an interval between the conductor crimping portion rear end point and the coating crimping portion tip point in a crimping direction.
