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.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a female terminal fitting (20) to be crimped to a wire including a core (12) formed by putting a plurality of strands (11) together and including a bottom plate portion (22) on which the core (12) is to be placed, and a pair of crimping pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate portion (22) and to be crimped to the core (12) in such a manner as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate portion (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).
