  • Patent number: 10128628
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a terminal-attached electric wire including an electric wire including a core wire having plurality of strand wires, and a female terminal including wire barrels crimped around the core wire. The method includes a first step of applying ultrasonic vibrations to the core wire, and a second step of crimping the wire barrels in a region of the core wire to which ultrasonic vibrations have been applied. The first step includes applying ultrasonic vibrations to the core wire while leaving a compression margin for the crimping by the second step such that the resistance between the electric wire and the female terminal is stabilized until the strand wires of the terminal-attached electric wire are severed when the core wire of the terminal-attached electric wire is further compressed after the second step.

  • Patent number: 10065342
    Abstract: When forming molded resin on a terminal-equipped conductive wire, cases where resin inside the mold for insert-molding leaks out from the mold are suppressed. A smooth portion having a smooth outer circumferential surface is formed in a conductive wire of a terminal-equipped conductive wire (smooth portion formation step (S2)). Furthermore, a molded resin member that covers the terminal connection portion is formed in a state where the terminal connection portion provided is inserted into an insert-molding mold, and a portion of the conductive wire that extends from a metal terminal is exposed to the outside through an opening portion of the mold (insert-molding step (S3)). The outer shape of the smooth portion is a shape that corresponds to the opening shape of the opening portion of the mold.
