The connector housing has a bottom wall and other walls surrounding a terminal insertion space into which each of the wire-side terminal is inserted, and a lance for locking the inserted wire-side terminal. The lance adapted to be deflected so as to project outwardly from the bottom wall, until the wire-side terminal reaches a proper insertion depth position, to be retracted from the wire-side terminal, and elastically return into the bottom wall, when the wire-side terminal reaches the position. The deflection of the lance allows the insertion of the wire-side terminal to be checked. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100230160 | CRIMP TERMINAL, TERMINAL-PROVIDED WIRE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - Provided is a technique of enabling high-compression crimping without breaking a crimp terminal while forming a recessed portion promoting a wire crimp portion of the crimp terminal to cut into a conductor in the wire crimp portion. The crimp terminal according to the invention includes a wire crimp portion, which is crimped to a conductor of a wire and includes a first crimp portion crimped to a base side of the conductor and a second crimp portion crimped to a tip end side. A recessed portion for promoting a cutting-in effect is formed in an inner surface of the wire crimp portion. A recessed portion formed in the second crimp portion is divided in a terminal width direction or is shallower than a recessed portion formed in the first crimp portion. Alternatively, the recessed portion is omitted and a recessed portion is formed only in the first crimp portion. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100261391 | CRIMP TERMINAL, TERMINAL-PROVIDED WIRE, AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - Provided is a technique of ensuring mechanical strength in a terminal-provided wire and lowering contact resistance between the wire and the crimp terminal, without greatly varying a crimp height of a crimp terminal onto the wire in an axial direction. A crimp terminal according to the invention includes a conductor barrel which is crimped to a conductor of a wire. The conductor barrel has an inner surface which closely contacts the conductor by bending. The inner surface has such a shape a surface thereof which closely contacts a tip end side part of the conductor inwardly projects beyond a surface thereof which closely contacts a base side part of the conductor, thus performing a higher compression of the tip end side part of the conductor than that of the base side part thereof by the bending. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100267280 | ELECTRIC-WIRE BUNDLE WITH WATER-PROOFING CONNECTOR - A connector-equipped electric-wire bundle including a plurality of types of electric wires different in conductor cross-sectional area and elongation. The connector-equipped electric-wire bundle comprises a first electric wire having a first conductor, and a second electric wire having a second conductor with a greater cross-sectional area and a greater breaking elongation than those of the first conductor. A second connector terminal having, as a second crimp portion, only a conductor barrel and a water-proofing-plug barrel is attached to an end of the second electric wire, and a first connector terminal having, as a first crimp potion, a conductor barrel, a water-proofing-plug barrel and an intermediate barrel is attached to an end of the first electric wire. The intermediate barrel is crimped onto an insulating cover in an intermediate region between the end of the conductor of the first electric wire and a water-proofing plug. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100297894 | TERMINAL CONNECTOR AND WIRE HARNESS - A wire barrel to be crimped onto an end of an electric wire has a surface on a side to face the electric wire. The surface has a plurality of recesses that extend in a direction that is to cross the axial direction of the electric wire and are separated from each other in the direction that is to cross the axial direction of the electric wire. The wire barrel has a thickness in a range from 0.15 mm to 1 mm before being crimped to the electric wire. Each recess has a depth in a range from 30% to 60% of the thickness of the wire barrel before the wire barrel is crimped onto the electric wire. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110003518 | TERMINAL CONNECTOR AND ELECTRIC WIRE WITH TERMINAL CONNECTOR - Rims of an opening of each recess form a parallelogram, and comprise two first opening rims that that are parallel to a first direction and two second opening rims that are parallel to a second direction. The first opening rims of each of the recesses that are aligned along the first direction are arranged on a straight line along the first direction. The second opening rims of each of the recesses that are aligned along the second direction are arranged on a straight line along the second direction. The recesses are formed by pressing a wire barrel with a die where a plurality of protruding parts are formed so as to correspond to recesses. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110009014 | TERMINAL CONNECTOR AND ELECTRIC WIRE WITH TERMINAL CONNECTOR - A plurality of recesses are formed on a surface of a wire barrel where an electric wire is provided. In a state before the electric wire is crimped onto the wire barrel, at least one of sides comprising rims of an opening of each recess of a quadrangular shape is a crossing side crossing at an angle of from 85 degrees to 95 degrees to an extending direction.
