An electrical terminal having a terminal attachment portion, a wire attachment portion and a transition portion. The wire attachment portion is configured to receive wires of a cable therein. The transition portion extends between the terminal attachment portion and the wire attachment portion. A flow barrier is provided on the transition portion proximate an end of the transition portion. The flow barrier constrains an adhesive/sealant applied to the wires positioned in the wire attachment portion from flowing from the wire attachment portion to the terminal attachment portion.

A wire harness that includes a first wire and a second wire each including a core wire and a covering material that covers the core wire; and a tube, wherein: the tube covers a connection between the core wire of the first wire and the core wire of the second wire, each of the covering materials contains a cross-linked polyethylene, the tube contains a cross-linked polyethylene, the tube and each of the covering materials are directly joined, and a tensile shear strength between the tube and each of the covering materials is 350 kPa or more.

A power cord includes at least one electrically insulated wire, including a wire conductor disposed within an insulated sleeve, and a connection terminal. The connection terminal includes a crimp portion crimped and soldered to the wire conductor at at least one end of the at least one insulated wire. The power cord further includes a heat shrink sleeve covering the crimp portion of the connection terminal and a portion of the insulated sleeve of the at least one electrically insulated wire, and an overmold molded around at least a portion of the heat shrink sleeve.

A bail for forming a mechanical and electrical connection includes an inboard section and an outboard section. The inboard section includes an elongate, electrically conductive multi-strand conductor. The outboard section includes an elongate, electrically conductive solid rod conductor electrically connected to the multi-strand conductor.

Provided is a grounding terminal comprising a terminal fitting including a crimp portion, and a fastened portion that is provided on the front lower side of the crimp portion and is to be connected to a grounding surface using a fastening member, the terminal fitting being provided with a stepped portion between the crimp portion and the fastened portion. A covering layer is configured to be formed on the grounding terminal by thermally shrinking a heat-shrinkable tube including, on its inner circumferential portion, a water sealing agent to be used to cover at least the crimp portion of the terminal fitting and seal the electric wire from water. A water sealing agent is configured to be distributed up to the front side with respect to the covering layer as viewed from above, and a hanging-down length d of a water sealing agent is within the range of the stepped portion.

A heat-shrinkable tube fitting jig is used to fit a heat-shrinkable tube onto a terminal-attached electric wire formed by crimping a core wire crimp portion of a terminal onto a core wire of an electric wire. The heat-shrinkable tube fitting jig is provided with a first side abutting plate, a second side abutting plate member, and an electric wire holding portion. Columnar bodies and recessed surfaces, which constitute terminal positioning portions, are provided on the upper surface of the first side abutting plate. A first side end face and a second side end face of the heat-shrinkable tube are abutted against mutually opposing surfaces (a first side abutting surface 40S and a second side abutting surface 44S) of the first side abutting plate and the second side abutting plate.
