Abstract

A terminal of the present disclosure is the terminal to be connected to a wire including a core and includes a terminal body and a sliding portion. The terminal body includes a sandwiching portion. The sliding portion is slidable in a front-rear direction between a partial locking position and a full locking position. The sliding portion includes a pressurizing portion configured to press the sandwiching portion at the full locking position to sandwich the core in a first direction by the sandwiching portion, at least a pair of first contact portions configured to contact the core in the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion, and at least a pair of second contact portions configured to contact the core in a second direction intersecting the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion.

Claims (14)

1. A terminal to be connected to a wire including a core, comprising:

a terminal body; and

a sliding portion,

wherein:

the terminal body includes a sandwiching portion configured to sandwich the core of the wire,

sliding portion is slidable in a front-rear direction between a partial locking position and a full locking position while being externally fit to a region where the sandwiching portion is provided, and the core is inserted into the sliding portion from behind, and

the sliding portion includes a pressurizing portion configured to press the sandwiching portion at the full locking position to sandwich the core in a first direction by the sandwiching portion, at least a pair of first contact portions provided behind the pressurizing portion and configured to contact the core in the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion, and at least a pair of second contact portions provided behind the pressurizing portion and configured to contact the core in a second direction intersecting the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion.

2. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein an inserting portion into which the core is inserted is shaped to include the second contact portion and a pair of the first contact portions projecting further toward the core than the second contact portion from both sides of the second contact portion.

3. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the inserting portion is formed into an arched shape by the second contact portion and the pair of first contact portions connected to the second contact portion, and a pair of the inserting portions are disposed on both sides of the core.

4. The terminal of claim 2 , wherein the sliding portion includes a pair of guiding portions enlarged in diameter from rear edges of a pair of the inserting portions toward a rear side.

5. The terminal of claim 1 , wherein the pair of the first contact portions are provided to project in the first direction from a pair of walls facing each other in the first direction, out of a peripheral wall of the sliding portion, and the pair of second contact portions are provided to project in the second direction from a pair of walls facing each other in the second direction, out of the peripheral wall of the sliding portion.
