CRIMP TERMINAL AND CRIMPING STRUCTURE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce return difficulty of a crimping part shape after a thermal shock test, and effectively improve a contact pressure of both sides of a conductor crimping part by increase in rigidity of a root part of a conductor caulking piece. SOLUTION: In a crimp terminal 10 in which the conductor crimping part 12 is installed at the rear part of an electric connecting part 11 via a first coupling part 14, a covered caulking part 13 is installed at its rear part via a second coupling part 15, the conductor crimping part is formed in a cross-sectional nearly U-shape by the bottom plate 31 and a pair of conductor caulking pieces 32, 32 extended and installed upward from its both right and left side edges, and both the first coupling part and the second coupling part are formed in a cross-sectional U-shape by the bottom plates 21, 51 and side plates 22, 52 of low profile, front side reinforced walls 41L, 41R are respectively installed between the front end edge of the upper half part of the right and left conductor caulking pieces and the upper end edge of the right and left side plates of low profile of the first coupling part, and the rear side reinforced walls 42L, 42R are respectively installed between the rear end edge of the upper half of the right and left conductor caulking pieces and the upper end edge of the right and left side plates of low profile of the second coupling part.
