    Abstract: A terminated electric wire includes an electric wire that includes a core wire including a metal having an ionization tendency larger than that of copper and being exposed from an end portion of the electric wire, and a terminal that includes copper or a copper alloy and is connected to the exposed core wire. A surface treating layer includes a surface treating agent that is in liquid form or in paste form and whose molecular structure contains an affinity group having an affinity for the terminal and a hydrophobic group having hydrophobicity, and is formed on a surface of the terminal. As a result, the electrolytic corrosion resistance of the terminated electric wire is improved.

  • Publication number: 20160028177
    Abstract: An electric connection structure includes a copper member including copper or a copper alloy; a metal member connected to the copper member and including a metal having an ionization tendency greater than that of copper; and a surface treatment layer at least in a portion of the copper member that is different from a connection part connected to the metal member. The surface treatment layer includes a surface treating agent having a hydrophobic part and a chelate group in the molecular structure. Thus, the occurrence of electric erosion can be suppressed in the electric connection structure in which different kinds of metals are connected.
