Description

本発明は、圧接端子、の圧接端子を用いた端子付き電線、及び、その圧接端子をハウジングに収容したコネクタ、に関する。 The present invention relates to an insulation displacement terminal, an electric wire with a terminal using the insulation displacement terminal, and a connector containing the insulation displacement terminal in a housing.

従来から、溝状の圧接スロットに電線を圧入することによって電線の導体芯線に電気的に接続される圧接端子が提案されている。圧接端子の利用例として、例えば、複数の圧接端子をバスバ等を介して連結した状態にてハウジングに収容したコネクタが挙げられる(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。このコネクタでは、圧接端子の各々に電線を圧入することで、電線同士を電気的に接続可能となっている。 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed an insulation displacement terminal that is electrically connected to a conductor core wire of an electric wire by press-fitting the electric wire into a grooved insulation displacement slot. A connector in which a plurality of pressure contact terminals are connected via a bus bar or the like and housed in a housing is given as an example of the use of the pressure contact terminals (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this connector, electric wires can be electrically connected to each other by press-fitting the electric wires into each of the insulation displacement terminals.

上述した圧接端子を利用した従来のコネクタは、複数の圧接端子の各々への電線の圧入が完了した後、圧接端子と電線との接続箇所をカバーで覆うことで、その接続箇所を保護するようになっている。ところが、複数の圧接端子に対して電線を順番に圧入する過程において、例えば、一部の圧接端子に電線を圧入してから残りの圧接端子に電線を圧入するまでの間に圧入済みの電線に外力が及ぶと、圧入済みの電線が圧接端子から外れる可能性がある。また、圧入済みの電線が圧接端子から外れるほど変位しなくとも、圧接端子と電線との圧接位置が外力によって変位して(ずれて)、圧接端子と電線との間の電気的接続の信頼性が損なわれる可能性がある。 In the conventional connector using the above-described press-contact terminals, after the wires have been press-fitted into each of the plurality of press-contact terminals, the connection points between the press-contact terminals and the wires are covered with a cover to protect the connection points. It has become. However, in the process of sequentially press-fitting wires into a plurality of press-connecting terminals, for example, during the time between press-fitting the wires into some of the press-fitting terminals and the rest of the press-fitting terminals, the wires that have already been press-fitted have If an external force is applied, there is a possibility that the press-fitted wire may come off from the insulation displacement terminal. In addition, even if the press-fitted wire does not displace enough to separate from the pressure contact terminal, the pressure contact position between the pressure contact terminal and the wire is displaced (displaced) by an external force, and the reliability of the electrical connection between the pressure contact terminal and the wire is improved. may be damaged.

<Embodiment>
An electric wire with a terminal 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, which includes an electric wire 10 and an insulation displacement terminal 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention, will be described below with reference to the drawings. Furthermore, a connector 3 according to an embodiment of the invention, which includes an insulation displacement terminal 20 according to an embodiment of the invention and a housing 2, will also be described. In particular, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, a plurality (two) of press-connecting terminals 20 are attached to the housing 2 in a state of being integrally formed and electrically connected through the connecting portion 31. As shown in FIG. Furthermore, each of the plurality of insulation displacement terminals 20 is attached to the corresponding electric wire 10 . As a result, the two electric wires 10 are electrically connected via a plurality (two) of pressure contact terminals 20, and the connection points between the wires 10 and the pressure contact terminals 20 are protected by the housing 2. FIG.

以下、説明の便宜上、図1及び図2に示すように、「前後方向」、「上下方向」、「幅方向」、「前」、及び「後」を定義する。前後方向、上下方向、及び幅方向は互いに直交している。前後方向は、電線10の延在方向と一致している。以下、端子付き電線1を構成する各部品について順に説明する。 Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, "front-rear direction", "vertical direction", "width direction", "front", and "rear" are defined. The front-back direction, the up-down direction, and the width direction are orthogonal to each other. The front-rear direction coincides with the extending direction of the electric wire 10 . Each component constituting the electric wire with terminal 1 will be described in order below.

まず、電線10について説明する。電線10は、図2に示すように、長尺線状の金属製の導体芯線11と、導体芯線11の側面を被覆する樹脂製の被覆12と、を有している。本例では、電線10の断面は、円形状を有しているが、矩形状などの円形状以外の形状を有していてもよい。 First, the electric wire 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2 , the electric wire 10 has a long metal conductor core wire 11 and a resin coating 12 that covers the side surface of the conductor core wire 11 . In this example, the cross section of the electric wire 10 has a circular shape, but it may have a shape other than a circular shape such as a rectangular shape.

次いで、圧接端子20について説明する。圧接端子20は、図2(a)に示すように、1枚の金属平板にプレス加工及び曲げ加工を施すことで形成されている。圧接端子20は、前後方向に並ぶ一対の底板部21と、一対の底板部21の前後方向内側(互いに対向する側)の端部から上方に起立(立設)する一対の立設板部22と、一対の立設板部22の上端部(延出端)同士を前後方向に繋ぐ上板部23と、一対の底板部21の前後方向外側(互いに対向する側と反対側)の端部に設けられた一対のバレル部24と、を備える。一対の立設板部22(即ち、後述する圧接刃25)と上板部23とは、全体として、アーチ状の形状をなしている。 Next, the pressure contact terminal 20 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2(a), the pressure contact terminal 20 is formed by pressing and bending a single flat metal plate. The pressure contact terminal 20 includes a pair of bottom plate portions 21 arranged in the front-rear direction, and a pair of upright plate portions 22 standing upward from the ends of the pair of bottom plate portions 21 on the front-rear direction inner side (sides facing each other). , an upper plate portion 23 that connects the upper end portions (extending ends) of the pair of standing plate portions 22 in the front-rear direction, and the ends of the pair of bottom plate portions 21 on the front-rear direction outer side (opposite side to the side facing each other). and a pair of barrel portions 24 provided in the . The pair of standing plate portions 22 (that is, pressure contact blades 25 to be described later) and the upper plate portion 23 are formed in an arch shape as a whole.

一対の底板部21は、厚さ方向が上下方向を向いた一対の平板であり、一つの平面を構成するように、前後方向に間隔を空けて位置している。 The pair of bottom plate portions 21 are a pair of flat plates whose thickness direction is oriented in the vertical direction, and are spaced apart in the front-rear direction so as to form one plane.

一対の立設板部22は、厚さ方向が前後方向を向いた一対の平板であり、前後方向に間隔を空けて対向している。各立設板部22には、幅方向中央部に圧接スロット26を画成するように構成された圧接刃25が設けられている。より具体的には、圧接刃25は、圧接スロット26を挟んで幅方向に対向する形状を有するように構成される。この結果、2つの圧接刃25が、前後方向に間隔を空けて並んでいる。圧接スロット26は、上方に開口し且つ下方に延びる溝状の空間である。よって、上板部23は、具体的には、圧接刃25の幅方向の一方側の上端部同士及び圧接刃25の幅方向の他方側の上端部同士をそれぞれ、前後方向に連結している。 The pair of erected plate portions 22 are a pair of flat plates whose thickness direction is oriented in the front-rear direction, and are opposed to each other with a gap therebetween in the front-rear direction. Each standing plate portion 22 is provided with a pressure blade 25 configured to define a pressure slot 26 in the widthwise central portion thereof. More specifically, the press contact blades 25 are configured to have shapes facing each other in the width direction with the press contact slots 26 interposed therebetween. As a result, the two press contact blades 25 are arranged side by side with a space therebetween in the front-rear direction. The press contact slot 26 is a groove-shaped space that opens upward and extends downward. Therefore, the upper plate portion 23 specifically connects the upper end portions of the pressure contact blades 25 on one side in the width direction and the upper end portions of the pressure contact blades 25 on the other side in the width direction to each other in the front-rear direction. .

圧接刃25は、図3(a)に示すように、上側に位置する開口部27と、開口部27の下側に連続する導通部28と、を有している。開口部27は、下方に向かうほど(底板部21に近づくほど)圧接スロット26の間隔が狭くなる部分であり、電線10の被覆12を食い破るとともに電線10を導通部28までガイドする機能を果たす。 As shown in FIG. 3A, the press-contact blade 25 has an opening 27 located on the upper side and a conducting portion 28 that continues to the lower side of the opening 27 . The opening 27 is a portion where the interval between the pressure contact slots 26 becomes narrower as it goes downward (closer to the bottom plate portion 21 ), and functions to break through the coating 12 of the wire 10 and guide the wire 10 to the conductive portion 28 . .

導通部28は、圧接スロット26の間隔が上下方向において一定に維持される部分であり、圧接スロット26に圧入される電線10の導体芯線11と導通する機能を果たす。導通部28の下端部は、下方に向かうほど圧接スロット26の間隔が狭くなっており、導通部28の下端は、底板部21から寸法Lだけ上方に離れた位置にある(図3(a)参照)。 The conductive portion 28 is a portion in which the distance between the pressure contact slots 26 is kept constant in the vertical direction, and functions to conduct the conductor core wire 11 of the electric wire 10 press-fitted into the pressure contact slot 26 . At the lower end of the conductive portion 28, the space between the pressure contact slots 26 becomes narrower as it goes downward, and the lower end of the conductive portion 28 is positioned upwardly away from the bottom plate portion 21 by the dimension L (FIG. 3A). reference).

一対のバレル部24は、一対の立設板部22(よって、2つの圧接刃25)を前後方向に挟むように位置している。各バレル部24は、図2(a)に示すように、上方に起立する一対の加締片29を備えている。一対の加締片29は、厚さ方向が幅方向を向いた一対の平板であり、幅方向に間隔を空けて対向している。一対のバレル部24は、圧接スロット26の導通部28に導体芯線11が位置する状態を保つように、電線10を保持するようになっている(図2(b)等を参照)。 The pair of barrel portions 24 are positioned so as to sandwich the pair of standing plate portions 22 (thus, the two press contact blades 25) in the front-rear direction. Each barrel portion 24 has a pair of crimping pieces 29 standing upward as shown in FIG. 2(a). The pair of crimping pieces 29 are a pair of flat plates whose thickness direction is oriented in the width direction, and are opposed to each other with a gap in the width direction. The pair of barrel portions 24 hold the wire 10 so as to keep the conductor core wire 11 positioned in the conductive portion 28 of the pressure contact slot 26 (see FIG. 2(b), etc.).

また、本例では、図4に示すように、上下方向において、圧接刃25による電線10との圧接位置と、一対のバレル部24による電線10の保持位置と、が略一致している。よって、一対のバレル部24の間に位置する電線10は、前後方向全域に亘って略直線状に延びている。 Further, in this example, as shown in FIG. 4, the position of the pressure contact blade 25 at which the wire 10 is pressed and the position at which the wire 10 is held by the pair of barrel portions 24 substantially match in the vertical direction. Therefore, the electric wire 10 positioned between the pair of barrel portions 24 extends substantially linearly over the entire area in the front-rear direction.

本例では、図2(a)に示すように、2つの圧接端子20が、互いの底板部21に連結する結合部31によって、幅方向に並ぶように連結されて導通されている。このように、互いに導通された2つの圧接端子20は、ハウジング2に取り付けられている。以上、端子付き電線1を構成する各部品について説明した。 In this example, as shown in FIG. 2(a), two press-connecting terminals 20 are connected to each other in the width direction by connecting portions 31 that connect to the bottom plate portions 21 of each other, and are electrically connected. Thus, the two pressure contact terminals 20 electrically connected to each other are attached to the housing 2 . In the above, each part which comprises the electric wire 1 with a terminal was demonstrated.

次いで、ハウジング2及びコネクタ3について説明する。図1に示すように、樹脂製のハウジング2は、基部41と、基部41の上方開口を塞ぐ蓋部42と、基部41に対して蓋部42を開閉可能に連結するヒンジ部43と、を一体に備える。ハウジング2は、蓋部42の閉状態にて、矩形箱状の筐体を構成するようになっている(図6(c)も参照)。 Next, the housing 2 and the connector 3 will be explained. As shown in FIG. 1, the housing 2 made of resin includes a base portion 41, a lid portion 42 that closes an upper opening of the base portion 41, and a hinge portion 43 that connects the lid portion 42 to the base portion 41 so that it can be opened and closed. Prepare for unity. The housing 2 constitutes a rectangular box-shaped casing when the lid portion 42 is closed (see also FIG. 6(c)).

基部41は、矩形状の底部44と、底部44の幅方向両側縁部から上方に起立すると共に前後方向に延びる一対の側板部45と、を備え、前後方向及び上方向に開口している。一対の側板部45のうち一方の側板部45の上端部の前後方向中央部には、ヒンジ部43の一端側が連結されている。一対の側板部45のうち他方の側板部45の幅方向外側面の中央部には、幅方向外側に突出する係止突起46が形成されている。 The base portion 41 includes a rectangular bottom portion 44 and a pair of side plate portions 45 extending in the front-rear direction and extending in the front-rear direction. One end side of the hinge portion 43 is connected to the front-back direction central portion of the upper end portion of one side plate portion 45 of the pair of side plate portions 45 . A locking projection 46 projecting outward in the width direction is formed at the center of the widthwise outer surface of the other side plate portion 45 of the pair of side plate portions 45 .

基部41の底部44の上面(内面)の所定位置には、図1に示すように、結合部31によって連結された2つの圧接端子20(図2(a)参照)が、幅方向に並ぶように固定されている。圧接端子20の固定は、圧接端子20の底板部21及び結合部31の少なくとも一方を、基部41の底部44の上面に、公知の手法により固定することで達成される。これにより、コネクタ3が得られる。 At a predetermined position on the upper surface (inner surface) of the bottom portion 44 of the base portion 41, as shown in FIG. is fixed to The fixing of the pressure contact terminal 20 is achieved by fixing at least one of the bottom plate portion 21 and the coupling portion 31 of the pressure contact terminal 20 to the upper surface of the bottom portion 44 of the base portion 41 by a known method. Thereby, the connector 3 is obtained.

蓋部42は、図1(a)に示す開状態において、矩形状の天板部47と、天板部47の幅方向一方側の縁部から上方に起立すると共に前後方向に延びる側板部48と、天板部47の前後方向両側縁部から上方に起立すると共に幅方向に延びる一対の前後板部49と、を備え、上方向及び幅方向他方側に開口している。天板部47の幅方向他方側の前後方向に延びる縁部における前後方向中央部には、ヒンジ部43の他端側が連結されている。 In the open state shown in FIG. 1(a), the lid portion 42 includes a rectangular top plate portion 47 and side plate portions 48 that stand upward from the edges on one side in the width direction of the top plate portion 47 and extend in the front-rear direction. and a pair of front and rear plate portions 49 standing upward from both front and rear side edges of the top plate portion 47 and extending in the width direction, and are open in the other side in the upper direction and the width direction. The other end side of the hinge portion 43 is connected to the center portion in the front-rear direction of the edge portion extending in the front-rear direction on the other side in the width direction of the top plate portion 47 .

一対の前後板部49の各々には、幅方向に並ぶ2つの電線10を挿通させるための2つの挿通部51が、幅方向に並んで形成されている。各挿通部51は、天板部47に向けて窪んだ溝部である。側板部48の前後方向中央部には、側板部48に代えて、側板部48から独立して天板部47から舌状に起立する係止片52が形成されている。係止片52の係止孔は、蓋部42を閉じたときに、基部41の係止突起46に係止されるようになっている。以上、ハウジング2及びコネクタ3について説明した。 In each of the pair of front and rear plate portions 49, two insertion portions 51 for inserting two wires 10 arranged in the width direction are formed side by side in the width direction. Each insertion portion 51 is a groove portion recessed toward the top plate portion 47 . Instead of the side plate portion 48 , a locking piece 52 is formed independently of the side plate portion 48 and standing upright from the top plate portion 47 in a tongue-like shape. The locking hole of the locking piece 52 is adapted to be locked to the locking projection 46 of the base portion 41 when the lid portion 42 is closed. The housing 2 and the connector 3 have been described above.

次いで、圧接端子20を電線10に取り付ける方法について説明する。本実施形態では、図5に示す圧接用治具60を用いて圧接端子20を電線10に取り付けるようになっている。圧接用治具60は、樹脂製又は金属製であり、前後方向に延びる基部61と、基部61の下部から下側に突出し且つ前後方向に延びる圧接用突起62と、圧接用突起62を前後方向に挟むように基部61の下部から下側に突出する一対の加締め用クリンパ63と、を一体に備える。 Next, a method for attaching the pressure contact terminal 20 to the electric wire 10 will be described. In this embodiment, the pressure contact terminal 20 is attached to the electric wire 10 using the pressure contact jig 60 shown in FIG. The pressure contact jig 60 is made of resin or metal, and includes a base portion 61 extending in the front-rear direction, a pressure contact projection 62 projecting downward from the lower portion of the base portion 61 and extending in the front-rear direction, and the pressure contact projection 62 extending in the front-rear direction. A pair of crimping crimpers 63 protruding downward from the lower portion of the base portion 61 so as to be sandwiched between them are integrally provided.

圧接用治具60を用いて圧接端子20を電線10に取り付けるためには、まず、図6(a)に示すように、ハウジング2の蓋部42を開状態に維持した状態にて、圧接用治具60を用いて、2本の電線10のうち一方の電線10を、ハウジング2の基部41に固定された2つの圧接端子20のうち一方の圧接端子20に取り付ける。 In order to attach the pressure contact terminal 20 to the electric wire 10 using the pressure contact jig 60, first, as shown in FIG. Using a jig 60 , one of the two wires 10 is attached to one of the two pressure contact terminals 20 fixed to the base 41 of the housing 2 .

具体的には、電線10が、圧接刃25の開口部27(圧接スロット26)に載置され、且つ、開口部27の前後方向両側にそれぞれ位置する一対の加締片29の間の空間にそれぞれ挿通されるように、配置された状態で、電線10の上方に配置された圧接用治具60を下向きに押圧する。これにより、圧接用突起62が、開口部27に載置されている電線10を下向きに押し込むとともに、一対の加締め用クリンパ63の各々が、対応する一対の加締片29の先端部を押圧する。 Specifically, the electric wire 10 is placed in the opening 27 (pressing slot 26) of the pressing blade 25, and in the space between the pair of crimping pieces 29 positioned on both sides of the opening 27 in the front-rear direction. The pressure welding jig 60 arranged above the electric wires 10 is pressed downward while the electric wires 10 are arranged so as to be inserted through them. As a result, the press-contact projections 62 push downward the wire 10 placed in the opening 27 , and each of the pair of crimping crimpers 63 presses the tip of the corresponding pair of crimping pieces 29 . do.

圧接用突起62が、圧接刃25の開口部27に載置されている電線10を下向きに押し込むことにより、電線10の被覆12が食い破られるとともに導体芯線11が露出し、その導体芯線11が導通部28の間に入り込む(図2(b)、図3(b)、図4参照)。これにより、導体芯線11と導通部28との電気的な接続(即ち、圧接端子20と電線10との電気的な接続)が達成される。 When the press-contact projection 62 pushes downward the wire 10 placed in the opening 27 of the press-contact blade 25, the coating 12 of the wire 10 is eaten away and the conductor core wire 11 is exposed. It enters between the conducting portions 28 (see FIGS. 2(b), 3(b), and 4). This achieves electrical connection between the conductor core wire 11 and the conductive portion 28 (that is, electrical connection between the pressure contact terminal 20 and the wire 10).

各加締め用クリンパ63が一対の加締片29の先端部を押圧することにより、一対の加締片29の間の空間に挿通されている電線10の上側に位置する一対の加締片29の先端部が、互いに係合するように加締められる(図2(b)、図3(b)、図4参照)。本例では、一対の加締片29の先端部同士が、一方の加締片29の先端部の上に他方の加締め片29の先端部が重なる(オーバーラップする)ように、係合する。これにより、一対の加締片29の間の空間に位置する電線10が当該空間から上方に抜け出ることが抑制され得ることで、圧接刃25の導通部28に圧入されている電線10が上方に抜け出ること(即ち、圧接刃25の開口部27に向かうこと)が抑制され得る。 Each crimping crimper 63 presses the tips of the pair of crimping pieces 29 so that the pair of crimping pieces 29 positioned above the electric wire 10 inserted into the space between the pair of crimping pieces 29 is pushed. are crimped so as to engage with each other (see FIGS. 2(b), 3(b) and 4). In this example, the tips of the pair of crimping pieces 29 are engaged so that the tip of one crimping piece 29 overlaps the tip of the other crimping piece 29. . As a result, the electric wire 10 positioned in the space between the pair of crimping pieces 29 can be prevented from coming out upward from the space, so that the electric wire 10 press-fitted into the conducting portion 28 of the press contact blade 25 can be pushed upward. Pulling out (that is, moving toward the opening 27 of the press contact blade 25) can be suppressed.

以上のような工程を経て、まず、2本の電線10のうち一方の電線10が、ハウジング2の基部41に固定された2つの圧接端子20のうち一方の圧接端子20に取り付けられる(図6(a)参照)。これにより、一方の圧接端子20について、端子付き電線1が得られることになる。 Through the steps described above, first, one of the two wires 10 is attached to one of the two pressure contact terminals 20 fixed to the base portion 41 of the housing 2 (see FIG. 6). (a)). As a result, the electric wire 1 with a terminal is obtained for one pressure contact terminal 20 .

次いで、同様の手順により、図6(b)に示すように、2本の電線10のうち他方の電線10も、他方の圧接端子20に取り付けられる。これにより、他方の圧接端子20について、端子付き電線1が得られることになる。更に、2つの端子付き電線1同士が、2つの圧接端子20を連結する結合部31(図2参照)を介して導通される。 Then, the other electric wire 10 of the two electric wires 10 is also attached to the other insulation displacement terminal 20 by the same procedure, as shown in FIG. 6(b). As a result, the electric wire 1 with a terminal is obtained for the other insulation displacement terminal 20 . Further, the two electric wires 1 with terminals are electrically connected to each other via the connecting portion 31 (see FIG. 2) that connects the two pressure contact terminals 20 .

そして、図6(c)に示すように、ハウジング2の蓋部42の各挿通部51から対応する電線10がそれぞれ延出するように、ハウジング2の蓋部42が閉じられて、蓋部42の係止片52の係止孔が、基部41の係止突起46に係止される。これにより、2つの端子付き電線1に対するハウジング2の取り付けが完了する。ハウジング2の取り付けが完了することで、図6(c)に示すように、2つの端子付き電線1の接続箇所が、矩形箱状の筐体を構成するハウジング2の内部に位置し、ハウジング2により保護される。 Then, as shown in FIG. 6C, the lid portion 42 of the housing 2 is closed so that the corresponding electric wires 10 extend from the insertion portions 51 of the lid portion 42 of the housing 2, respectively. The locking hole of the locking piece 52 is locked to the locking projection 46 of the base portion 41 . This completes the attachment of the housing 2 to the two electric wires 1 with terminals. By completing the attachment of the housing 2, as shown in FIG. protected by

<作用・効果>
以上、本発明の実施形態に係る圧接端子20、端子付き電線1及びコネクタ3によれば、圧接刃25の圧接スロット26に圧入された電線10を一対のバレル部24によって保持することで、電線10が圧接スロット26から離脱する向きに移動することを規制できる。よって、本構成の圧接端子20は、上述した従来の圧接端子20に比べ、圧入済みの電線10に意図しない外力が及んだ場合であっても、電線10の外れや位置ずれを抑制できる。したがって、圧接端子20は、圧接スロット26に圧入済みの電線10を適正に保持可能である。
<Action/effect>
As described above, according to the press contact terminal 20, the wire with terminal 1, and the connector 3 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the wire 10 press-fitted into the press contact slots 26 of the press contact blades 25 is held by the pair of barrel portions 24, whereby the wire is 10 can be restricted from moving away from the press contact slot 26 . Therefore, the pressure contact terminal 20 of this configuration can prevent the wire 10 from being detached or misaligned even when an unintended external force is applied to the press-fitted wire 10, compared to the conventional pressure contact terminal 20 described above. Therefore, the press contact terminal 20 can properly hold the electric wire 10 that has been press-fitted into the press contact slot 26 .

更に、圧接端子20によれば、電線10の導体芯線と圧接スロット26の導通部28とが接触した状態が維持されるように、バレル部24によって電線10が保持される。よって、圧接端子20と電線10との間の電気的接続の信頼性を更に向上できる。 Furthermore, according to the press contact terminal 20, the wire 10 is held by the barrel portion 24 so that the contact between the conductor core of the wire 10 and the conductive portion 28 of the press contact slot 26 is maintained. Therefore, the reliability of electrical connection between the pressure contact terminal 20 and the electric wire 10 can be further improved.

更に、圧接端子20によれば、圧接刃25、一対のバレル部24、及び、底板部21が一体化された構造を有する圧接端子20を提供できる。このような圧接端子20は、例えば、一枚の金属板に対してプレス加工や曲げ加工を施すことで製造できるため、圧接端子20を多数の独立した部材から構成する場合に比べ、低コストでの生産性などに優れる。 Furthermore, according to the press contact terminal 20, the press contact terminal 20 having a structure in which the press contact blade 25, the pair of barrel portions 24, and the bottom plate portion 21 are integrated can be provided. Such an insulation displacement terminal 20 can be manufactured, for example, by subjecting a single metal plate to press working or bending. productivity.

なお、本発明は上記各実施形態に限定されることはなく、本発明の範囲内において種々の変形例を採用することができる。例えば、本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、適宜、変形、改良、等が可能である。その他、上述した実施形態における各構成要素の材質、形状、寸法、数、配置箇所、等は本発明を達成できるものであれば任意であり、限定されない。
<Other forms>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be adopted within the scope of the present invention. For example, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and can be modified, improved, etc. as appropriate. In addition, the material, shape, size, number, location, etc. of each component in the above-described embodiment are arbitrary and not limited as long as the present invention can be achieved.

上記実施形態では、上下方向において、圧接刃25による電線10との圧接位置と、一対のバレル部24による電線10の保持位置と、が略一致している(図4参照)。これに対し、図7に示すように、圧接刃25による電線10との圧接位置が、一対のバレル部24による電線10の保持位置より上側に位置していてもよい。これによれば、圧接刃25に電線10を圧入する向き(下向き)の力をバレル部24によって電線10に及すことで、電線10を圧接刃25に強固に圧入した状態を維持できる。よって、立設方向(上下方向)における電線10の意図しない移動に加え、電線10の軸線方向における電線10の意図しない移動も規制できる。 In the above embodiment, in the vertical direction, the pressure contact position with the wire 10 by the pressure contact blade 25 and the holding position of the wire 10 by the pair of barrel portions 24 substantially match (see FIG. 4). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the position where the pressure contact blade 25 contacts the wire 10 may be positioned above the position where the wire 10 is held by the pair of barrel portions 24 . According to this configuration, the barrel portion 24 exerts a force in the direction (downward) for press-fitting the electric wire 10 into the press-contact blade 25 , so that the state in which the wire 10 is firmly press-fitted into the press-contact blade 25 can be maintained. Therefore, in addition to unintended movement of the electric wire 10 in the erecting direction (vertical direction), unintended movement of the electric wire 10 in the axial direction of the electric wire 10 can also be restricted.

更に、上記実施形態では、バレル部24を構成する一対の加締片29の先端部同士が、一方の加締片29の先端部の上に他方の加締め片29の先端部が重なる(オーバーラップする)ように、(塑性変形して)係合している(図3(b)参照)。これに対し、図8(a)に示すように、バレル部24を構成する一対の加締片29の先端部同士が、当該先端部同士に設けられたテーパ状の側面同士が密着するように、(塑性変形して)係合していてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the tip end portions of the pair of caulking pieces 29 constituting the barrel portion 24 are overlapped on the tip portion of one of the caulking pieces 29 (overlapped). It is engaged (plastically deformed) so that it wraps (see FIG. 3(b)). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 8A, the tip portions of the pair of crimping pieces 29 forming the barrel portion 24 are arranged so that the tapered side surfaces provided at the tip portions are in close contact with each other. , may be engaged (plastically deformed).

更に、図8(b)に示すように、バレル部24が、電線10を挟持する一対の弾性片29で構成されてもよい。図8(b)に示す例では、一対の弾性片29は、厚さ方向が前後方向を向いた一対の片持ち梁状の平板である。一対の弾性片29は、電線10の圧接刃25への圧入動作中には、幅方向外側に一時的に弾性変形して一対の弾性片29の間への電線10の進入を許容し、電線10の圧入後には、幅方向内側に弾性復帰して電線10が上方に抜け出ることを抑制するように構成されている。 Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 8B, the barrel portion 24 may be composed of a pair of elastic pieces 29 that hold the electric wire 10 therebetween. In the example shown in FIG. 8(b), the pair of elastic pieces 29 are a pair of cantilever-like flat plates whose thickness direction is oriented in the front-rear direction. The pair of elastic pieces 29 temporarily elastically deforms outward in the width direction during the press-fitting operation of the wire 10 into the press-contact blade 25 to allow the wire 10 to enter between the pair of elastic pieces 29, thereby After the wire 10 is press-fitted, the wire 10 is elastically returned to the inner side in the width direction to prevent the wire 10 from coming out upward.

更に、上記実施形態では、一対のバレル部24の間に、一対の立設板部22(よって、2つの圧接刃25)が位置している。これに対し、一対のバレル部24の間に、一枚の立設板部22(よって、1つの圧接刃25)が位置していてもよい。 Furthermore, in the above embodiment, a pair of standing plate portions 22 (thus, two press contact blades 25) are positioned between the pair of barrel portions 24. As shown in FIG. On the other hand, one standing plate portion 22 (and thus one press contact blade 25 ) may be positioned between the pair of barrel portions 24 .
