Electric distribution assembly
First Claim
1. An electric distributor assembly comprising a distribution cable comprising an insulation-coated twisted-wire conductor made of an aluminum alloy and a connecting terminal connected to one end of said twisted wire conductor, whereinsaid aluminum alloy consists of Zr:
- 0.03 to 0.4 wt %, Fe;
0.05 to 0.2 wt %, and Si;
0.05 to 0.2 wt % and further includes in total 0.003 to 0.05 wt % of one or more elements selected from Be, Sr, Mg, Ti and V, and the balance consists of Al and unavoidable impurities;
said connecting terminal connected to said twisted-wire conductor is made of a metal, and said twisted wire conductor and said connecting terminal are connected by pressure welding with ultrasonic vibrations.

Abstract
An electric distributor assembly for movable vehicle is provided which has a distribution cable which is easier to handle, having both a metal terminal excellent in workability and an Al alloy twisted wire conductor connected to the terminal so as to show superior connection characteristics. The twisted-wire conductor may be made of an Al or Al alloy which has conductivity of 50% IACS or more. The metal terminal is made of, preferably, an Al or Al alloy of which elongation is 20% or more. The terminal is connected with the cable conductor, preferably, with ultrasonic vibrations.
