Abstract

A crimp terminal may include: a receiving portion that is to receive conductor portions of electrical wires and has an end portion from which the electrical wires are to be lead out; a pair of first barrel portions that are connected to the receiving portion and compress the conductor portions along with the receiving portion; a bend portion that extends from an end portion of the receiving portion and is bent so as to be folded over; and an overlap portion that is connected to the bend portion and overlaps the receiving portion.

Claims (14)

1. A crimp terminal comprising:

a receiving portion that is to receive a conductor portion of an electrical wire, and has an end portion from which the electrical wire is to be lead out;

a pair of first barrel portions that are connected to the receiving portion and are to crimp the conductor portion along with the receiving portion; and

a fold-over piece that includes an overlap portion and a bend portion that extends from the end portion of the receiving portion and is to be bent so as to be folded over;

wherein the overlap portion includes a second barrel portion and an extension portion that is connected to the bend portion, the second barrel portion extends from the extension portion in a direction that intersects the extension portion, and the fold-over piece is configured to be folded over and bent at the bend portion so that the extension portion overlaps the receiving portion and the second barrel portion overlaps the pair of first barrel portions.

2. The crimp terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the extension portion extends from the bend portion, and

a portion of the receiving portion that is connected to the bend portion bulges outward relative to a portion of the receiving portion that is overlapped by the second barrel portion.

3. The crimp terminal according to claim 1 ,

wherein the extension portion extends from the bend portion, and

a thickness of the bend portion is smaller than a thickness of a portion of the receiving portion that is overlapped by the second barrel portion.

4. The crimp terminal according to claim 1 , wherein conductor portions of a plurality of the electrical wires are crimped between the receiving portion and the pair of first barrel portions.

5. An electrical wire with a terminal comprising:

an electrical wire and the crimp terminal according to claim 1 , a conductor portion of the electrical wire being crimped between the receiving portion and the pair of first barrel portions.
