Abstract: The present invention concerns a corrosion-resistant terminal (10) before being crimped to an aluminum wire (40) in which a core (41) is covered with a coating (42) and the corrosion-resistant terminal (10) includes a wire barrel (31) to be crimped to the core (41) exposed by removing the coating (42), an insulation barrel (32) to be crimped to the coating (42), and an anticorrosive (50) applied in advance to a surface of the insulation barrel (32) to be held in contact with the coating (40). According to such a configuration, since the anticorrosive (50) is applied in advance to the surface of the insulation barrel (32) to be held in contact with the coating (42) of the aluminum wire (40), the anticorrosive 50 can be filled between the insulation barrel (32) and the coating (42) of the aluminum wire (40) when crimping is performed.

Abstract: A wire with corrosion-resistant terminal (60) includes an aluminum wire (40) and a corrosion-resistant terminal (10) is formed from a base material made of copper alloy. The terminal (10) includes a wire connecting portion (30) connected to an end of the aluminum wire (40). The copper alloy exposed on an end part of the wire connecting portion (30) is covered with an anticorrosive (50). End parts of the base material in the wire connecting portion (30) face inward on an upper surface of the wire connecting portion (30) while winding around the end of the aluminum wire (40). A storage portion (33, 34) is surrounded by the end parts of the base material, and the anticorrosive (50) is stored in the storage portion (33, 34) in a region (R1, R2) narrower than a maximum width region (W1, W2) on the upper surface of the wire connecting portion (30).

The female terminal includes: a wire barrel having a bottom plate on which the core wire is placed and crimped onto the core wire; a groove portion extending from the bottom plate in a direction in which the core wire extends and whose surface on the side where the core wire is placed is bent into a concave shape. The groove portion has a water blocking wall molded by synthetic resin. The water blocking wall is provided to fill the inside of the groove portion. A region extending from the water blocking wall to the end of the insulating coating is covered with a water blocking coating, and the inner surface of the water blocking coating is in close contact with the water blocking wall.

Abstract: A female terminal fitting (20) is to be crimped to a wire including a core (12) formed by plural strands (11) and includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is to be placed, and a pair of crimping pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and to be crimped to the core (12) in such a manner as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are formed with a thinning portion (27), and a corner portion (30) is formed by deforming the thinning portion (27) when the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). Accordingly, a clearance formed at the butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) can be made smaller than in the case where the thinning portions (27) are not provided.

Abstract: A terminal fitting (20) is crimped to an aluminum wire including a core (12) formed by putting a plurality of strands (11) together. The terminal fitting (20) includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is placed, and two barrel pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and crimped to the core (12) so as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Overlapping portions (24L, 24R) are formed on tip parts of the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) by folding a plate material forming the barrel pieces (25L, 25R) to overlap layers of the plate material. The overlapping portions (24L, 24R) contact each other without intruding between the strands (11) when the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). The terminal fitting (20) eliminates breakage of the core (12) and is less affected by spring back.

Thus, a clearance formed at the butting parts of the respective crimping pieces (25L, 25R) can be made smaller than in the case where the thinning portion (27) are not provided.
