CONNECTING STRUCTURE, CONNECTING DEVICE AND CONNECTING METHOD FOR ELECTRIC WIRE AND TERMINAL, AND WIRE HARNESS
First Claim
1. A connecting structure for an electric wire and a terminal, in which a terminal to be inserted into a terminal insertion hole of a connector housing is crimped to a conductor exposed by stripping off a coated insulator at an end portion of an electric wire, anda coating resin coated on a connecting portion formed of a conductor exposed portion of the conductor exposed at the end portion of the electric wire, an insulator coated portion which is adjacent to the conductor exposed portion and is coated with the insulator, and a conductor crimping portion of the terminal, to which the conductor is connected, is formed into a thickness which allows it to be inserted into the terminal insertion hole of the connector housing.

Abstract
A connecting structure is applied for connecting an electric wire and a terminal. For coating a connecting portion of a conductor of the electric wire and the terminal, which form a wire harness, with a coating resin, a portion of an insulator, which is to be inserted into a terminal insertion hole of a connector housing, is subjected to a diameter reduction process such that an outer diameter of the coating resin coated on the insulator is smaller than the terminal insertion hole.
