A fitting-equipped conductive sheet including: a conductive sheet material in which a plurality of conductive strands are aligned planarly; and a plate-shaped conductive fitting attached to ends of the plurality of conductive strands, wherein the conductive fitting includes a folded-back portion, and a first sandwiching portion and a second sandwiching portion that are folded back with the folded-back portion as a starting point and the first sandwiching portion and the second sandwiching portion are opposed to each other.

Fitting-equipped conductive sheet

A molded portion-equipped electrical wire that includes a conductor; a terminal connected to an end of the conductor; a mold covering a portion at which the conductor and the terminal are connected such that the terminal protrudes from one end side of the mold and the conductor protrudes from another end side of the mold; an insulating covering that covers a periphery of the mold and the conductor and is obtained due to a thermal contraction tube contracting; and a body that is provided on an outer circumferential surface of the mold and includes a level difference forming surface facing the one end side, wherein an end of the covering is caught on a level difference portion formed by the level difference forming surface, and the body is made of an elastic material.

Molded portion-equipped electrical wire

A molded portion-equipped wiring member includes a conductor portion that is wire-shaped, a terminal that is connected to an end portion of the conductor portion, a molded portion that covers a connection portion between the conductor portion and the terminal such that the terminal projects from a first end portion side and the conductor portion extends from a second end portion side, and a sheath member that surrounds the conductor portion in a state where a gap of separation from the conductor portion is formed in an intermediate portion, the sheath member being in close contact with the second end portion of the molded portion in an end portion.

Wiring member having molded part

When forming molded resin on a terminal-equipped conductive wire, cases where resin inside the mold for insert-molding leaks out from the mold are suppressed. A smooth portion having a smooth outer circumferential surface is formed in a conductive wire of a terminal-equipped conductive wire (smooth portion formation step (S)). Furthermore, a molded resin member that covers the terminal connection portion is formed in a state where the terminal connection portion provided is inserted into an insert-molding mold, and a portion of the conductive wire that extends from a metal terminal is exposed to the outside through an opening portion of the mold (insert-molding step (S)). The outer shape of the smooth portion is a shape that corresponds to the opening shape of the opening portion of the mold. In the insert-molding step (S), the interior of the mold is filled with a resin in a state where the inner circumferential surface of the opening portion of the mold is in contact with the outer circumferential surface of the smooth portion.
