Further, since the tube-like portion is uniformly caulked so as to be closely contact with the electric conductor, it is possible to obtain a comparatively large contact area, and it is possible to obtain a stable conduction.

Abstract: A tab (20) has first and second plates (21, 22). A bulge (23) of the first plate (21) is spaced from the second plate (22). Supports (25) project from the bulge (23) and contact with the second plate (22). Thus, a sufficient strength is secured for the tab (20). The supports (25) are in contact with the second plate (22) at positions displaced toward side edges from the free ends (28a). Thus, there is no danger that the supports (25) will thrust themselves between the free ends (28a) to separate the free ends (28a) when the first plate (21) is pressed, thereby preventing the tab (20) from being deformed.

Abstract: In a mold for pressing an electric-wire clamping portion of a terminal, a lower side-wall mold part and an upper side-wall mold part are provided for pressing side walls connected to the electric-wire clamping portion. A pressure face substantially continuously connected to a pressure face of an upper conductor mold part is provided on one end side of the upper side-wall mold part. A taper face is provided on the other end side of the upper side-wall mold part so as to be enlarged toward the other end. Accordingly, side walls pressed between the lower side-wall mold part and the upper side-wall mold part are deformed so that the quantity of deformation at one end is near the quantity of compressive deformation of the electric-wire clamping portion and so that the quantity of deformation is reduced gradually toward the other end side. Thus, local stress concentration is not caused in the side walls so that cracks are prevented from occurring in the side walls.

Abstract: A press-clamping terminal of the invention is press-fastened at its conductor-clamping portion on an outer periphery of a conductor part of a wire so as to be electrically connected to the conductor part. A plating layer is formed at least on an inner surface of the conductor-clamping portion for contact with the conductor part, the plating layer being harder than a passivation layer formed on a surface of the conductor part, and being excellent in electrical conductivity. With this construction, the hard plating layer fractures the passivation layer upon press-fastening of the conductor-clamping portion on the conductor part of the wire, thereby providing the good press-clamping condition in which any passivation layer, increasing the contact resistance, is not interposed between the press-clamping terminal and the conductor part.
