  • Patent number: 11489269
    Abstract: An objective of the present invention is to provide a terminal connecting structure which may enable the conductivity to be improved. A terminal connecting structure is intended for connecting a terminal to an electric wire, the electric wire including an aluminum conductor with aluminum, wherein the terminal connecting structure further comprises a conductive connection body formed with aluminum, wherein one end of the connection body is butt-connected to the aluminum conductor, and wherein another end of the connection body is connected to the terminal via crimping. This enables the terminal to be connected to the electric wire via the connection body without crimping the bundle of cores. This may eliminate influence of crimping on the aluminum conductor and enable the conductivity between the electric wire and the terminal to be improved.
