Method and structure for connecting a terminal with a wire
In a method of connecting a terminal with a wire in which a core ( 2 ) of a wire is inserted into a tubular wire connecting portion ( 1 ) of a terminal, and the wire connecting portion is crimped in a radial direction of the wire, the wire connecting portion is compressed in a radial direction of the wire and uniformly over the whole circumference. While rotating dies ( 7 ′) by using a rotary swaging machine, the wire connecting portion is compressed by the dies in a radial direction of the wire and uniformly over the whole circumference. The wire connecting portion is compressed in a radial direction of the wire and uniformly over the whole circumference, and the outer periphery of a compressed part of the wire connecting portion has a true circular section shape.
1. A structure for connecting a terminal with a wire, comprising:
a tubular wire connecting portion of the terminal into which a core of the wire is inserted,
wherein, the wire connecting portion is crimped in a radial direction of the wire so that the wire connecting portion is compressed in the radial direction and uniformly over a whole circumference of the wire and an outer periphery of a compressed part of the wire connecting portion has a true circular section shape,
wherein a protrusion is formed on an outer periphery of the wire connecting portion, and
the protrusion is crimped to project inwardly from an inner periphery of the wire connecting portion to bite the core.
2. The structure according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion is an annular ridge or at least one projection.
