  • Patent number: 9871311
    Abstract: A contact connection structure includes: a first contact portion including an indent portion spherically protruding, the first contact portion including a plating layer formed on a surface of the first contact portion; and a second contact portion including a plating layer formed on a surface of the second contact portion. The indent portion of the first contact portion is slidable on a contact surface of the second contact portion. The indent portion of the first contact portion at a terminal insertion completed position is in contact with the second contact portion. The contact surface of the second contact portion includes an oxide-film shaving portion having an annular arc portion curved along a circumference portion of the indent portion.

  • Patent number: 9099794
    Abstract: Concave serrations are provided in an inner surface of a conductor crimping portion of a crimp terminal. A number of circular concave portions are provided in the inner surface of the conductor crimping portion as the concave serrations so as to be scattered in a state of being spaced aside from one another. A diameter of an inner bottom surface of each circular concave portion is set within a range of 0.15 (an error range is ±0.04) mm to 0.8 (the error range is ±0.04) mm. A serration angle between an extension surface of the inner bottom surface and an inner side surface of each circular concave portion is set within a range of 60 to 90 degrees. A shortest distance of a flat surface portion between peripheries of mutually adjacent circular concave portions is set to be 0.17 (the error range is ±0.09) mm.
