Abstract

A crimp terminal includes a sheath mounting portion for mounting a sheath portion of a wire thereon, at least two sheath fixing portions that press-fastens to the sheath portion of the wire, wherein each of the sheath fixing portions has a pair of sheath press-fastening pieces extended respectively from opposite side edges of the sheath mounting portion, and a crimping connection portion that electrically connects to the conductor portion of the wire exposed at a distal end of the sheath portion. Extending directions and lengths of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of each of the sheath fixing portions are set so that distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of each of the sheath fixing portions are superposed to each other when the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces are press-fastened on the sheath portion.

Claims (16)

1. A crimp terminal, comprising:

a sheath mounting portion for mounting a sheath portion of a wire thereon, wherein the wire has a conductor portion and the sheath portion covering the conductor portion;

at least two sheath fixing portions that press-fastens to the sheath portion of the wire, wherein each of the sheath fixing portions has a pair of sheath press-fastening pieces extended respectively from opposite side edges of the sheath mounting portion; and

a crimping connection portion that electrically connects to the conductor portion of the wire exposed at a distal end of the sheath portion,

wherein the at least two sheath fixing portions are arranged along in a longitudinal direction of the wire;

wherein extending directions and lengths of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of each of the sheath fixing portions are set so that distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of each of the sheath fixing portions are superposed to each other when the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces are press-fastened on the sheath portion; and

wherein the order of superposing of the distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of one of the two adjacent sheath fixing portions is reverse to the order of superposing of the distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of the other of the two adjacent sheath fixing portions.

2. A wire fixing structure, comprising:

a wire that includes a conductor portion and a sheath portion covering the conductor portion;

a crimp terminal that includes:

a sheath mounting portion for mounting the sheath portion of the wire;

at least two sheath fixing portions that press-fastens to the sheath portion of the wire, wherein each of the sheath fixing portions has a pair of sheath press-fastening piece extended respectively from opposite side edges of the sheath mounting portion; and

a crimping connection portion that electrically connects to the conductor portion of the wire exposed at a distal end of the sheath portion,

wherein the at least two sheath fixing portions are arranged along in a longitudinal direction of the wire;

wherein distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of each of the sheath fixing portions are superposed to each other when the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces are press-fastened on the sheath portion; and

wherein the order of superposing of the distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of one of the two adjacent sheath fixing portions is reverse to the order of superposing of the distal end portions of the pair of sheath press-fastening pieces of the other of the two adjacent sheath fixing portions.
