The sleeve is crimped to the outer periphery of the braid, the braid is folded back by the folding-back portion at the front end side of the sleeve, the folded-back braid covers the outer periphery of the sleeve, the braided crimping piece of the shield terminal is crimped to the outer periphery of the sleeve via the folded-back braid, the folded-back braid is held between the sleeve and the braid crimping piece, the sheath crimping piece is crimped to the outer periphery of the sheath, and when a tensile force is applied in the direction in which the cable is relatively separated from the shield terminal, the sleeve is moved in the tensile direction, so that the rear end edge of the sleeve and the front end edge of the sheath crimping piece are brought into abutment with each other.

A terminal of the present disclosure is the terminal to be connected to a wire including a core and includes a terminal body and a sliding portion. The terminal body includes a sandwiching portion. The sliding portion is slidable in a front-rear direction between a partial locking position and a full locking position. The sliding portion includes a pressurizing portion configured to press the sandwiching portion at the full locking position to sandwich the core in a first direction by the sandwiching portion, at least a pair of first contact portions configured to contact the core in the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion, and at least a pair of second contact portions configured to contact the core in a second direction intersecting the first direction when the core is inserted into the sliding portion.

A crimping die including a first die piece having a recess portion and a second die piece having a protrusion portion is provided. An inner wall surface of the recess portion has a bottom wall surface and recess-side lateral end surfaces. An outer surface of the protrusion portion has a top end surface and protrusion-side lateral end surfaces. The bottom wall surface has a recess-side projection portion, a recess-side concave portion, and a recess-side curvature changing portion. The top end surface has a protrusion-side projection portion, a protrusion-side concave portion, and a protrusion-side curvature changing portion. A sign of curvature of the bottom wall surface changes at a boundary portion in the recess-side curvature changing portion with respect to the recess-side concave portion. A sign of curvature of the top end surface changes at a boundary portion in the protrusion-side curvature changing portion with respect to the protrusion-side concave portion.

An electric connector terminal assembly which allows numerous different terminal connector ends and wire diameters to be connected to a single size and type crimp cylinder using an rolled metal strip insert. Preferably, the metal strip is made of copper, and preferably the copper strip is coated with tin. The metal strip is then formed into a cylinder for insertion to the crimp cylinder. A method for connecting a crimp terminal to an electric wire is also disclosed. The method requires cutting a metal strip to form a plurality of parallel compliant members (e.g., fingers) connected to a base, rolling the cut strip to form a cylindrical insert, positioning the insert within a crimp cylinder of an electric connector with the fingers extending toward the mating end, inserting an electric wire within the cylindrical insert, and crimping the crimp cylinder to secure the electric wire within the cylindrical insert and crimp cylinder.

The present invention disclosure relates to an intermediate connection structure of a power cable, which is capable of reducing heating of a connecting part of conductors of a pair of power cables connected through a joint box, enhancing a connected state of the conductors, and minimizing a diameter of the conductor connection part.

A coaxial connector includes internal and external terminals, and an insulation member disposed between the terminals. The external terminal includes a holding portion that holds coaxial cables, and crimping portions. A crimping portion outermost in an arrangement direction of the cables is formed from a plate member bent to follow an outer circumference of the cable, and includes a connection portion connectable with the holding portion between both end portions in the arrangement direction. An inner hook extends inward in the arrangement direction from a point of intersection between the connection portion connectable with the holding portion and a virtual straight line orthogonal to the arrangement direction and passing a center of the cable, in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the cable. An outer hook extends outward in the arrangement direction from the point of intersection. The inner hook is shorter than the outer hook.

An arrangement includes an electric cable having a first electric conductor and a contact device having a crimp barrel and a contact element mechanically and electrically connected to the crimp barrel. The crimp barrel extends along an axis and has a first inner circumferential side and a first outer circumferential side. A first impress and a second impress are stamped into a first sub-portion of the crimp barrel, the second impress is offset circumferentially from the first impress with respect to the axis. The first inner circumferential side is shaped by the first impress and the second impress in such a manner that the first inner circumferential side is pressed against a second outer circumferential side of the first electric conductor and electrically contacts the second outer circumferential side, with the first inner circumferential side fitting against the second outer circumferential side.
