A connector includes: an electric wire; a terminal connected to the electric wire; a housing having a housing space to house a connection portion of the electric wire and the terminal; a seal member to seal an opening portion of the housing space to isolate the connection portion housed in the housing space from an outside; and a heat storage member located in the housing space.

Connector

A method of manufacturing a terminal-formed electric wire includes a welding member placing process in which at least one welding member formed of metal having a melting point lower than that of a plurality of metal strands included in a core wire is arranged to the core wire of at least a terminal-forming target portion of the electric wire, and a terminal forming process in which the exposed terminal-forming target portion is interposed between first and second electrodes having a shape corresponding to a desired terminal shape, at least the welding member in the terminal-forming target portion is melted by electrically conducting the first and second electrodes while pressing the terminal-forming target portion with the first and second electrodes, and the melted metal is then solidified, so that the terminal-forming target portion is formed as a terminal portion having a desired terminal shape.
