A twisted pair cable includes a twisted portion in which two communication wires are twisted each other and an untwisted portion in which the two communication wires are untwisted. The terminal is connected to a tip part of the untwisted portion. A crimping member includes a barrel portion crimped to an end part of the twisted portion on the side of the untwisted portion and a non-crimping portion extending from the barrel portion toward the untwisted portion and not crimped to the twisted pair cable. The non-crimping portion includes a facing portion facing the two communication wires in the untwisted portion and rising portions rising from both end part in a direction orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the untwisted portions in the facing portion. The rising portions surround the two communication wires together with the facing portion.

Communication cable and crimping member

A board connector () includes a housing (), fixing members () and a shield member (). The housing () holds a terminal fitting (). The fixing member () includes a housing fixing portion () to be fixed to the housing () and a board fixing portion () to be fixed to a circuit board () while being electrically connected to the circuit board (). The shield member () includes mounting portions () to be mounted on the housing () and covering portions () for covering outer side surfaces of the fixing members () in a mounting direction of the mounting portions (), and the covering portions () include contact portions () configured to come into contact with the outer side surfaces of the fixing members ().

Board connector

A terminal-equipped wire configured by crimping a pair of barrel pieces provided on a terminal to an external sheath of a wire, the external sheath being provided on an outer circumferential surface of a core wire. The pair of barrel pieces are wrapped around the external sheath into a polygonal tube shape that has a plurality of corner portions in a circumferential direction of the external sheath, leading end edges of the pair of barrel pieces are arranged on opposite sides of at least one corner portion out of the plurality of corner portions.

Terminal-equipped wire

A terminal fitting includes a soldering portion () to which a conductor () of a wire () is to be soldered, solid solder () for soldering the conductor () to the soldering portion () in a solid state, and a holding portion () that holds the solid solder () until the solid solder () is melted and the conductor () is soldered. The conductor () is connected to the soldering portion () by melting the solid solder () held in the holding portion ().

Terminal fitting and wire with terminal fitting

A terminal fitting includes: a body portion having a space for inserting a tab of a mating terminal therein; an elastic contact piece provided to face the space, having a configuration as to be extended like a cantilever in a direction of an insertion and pull-out of the tab with respect to the space through a wall-shaped portion constituting the body portion, and having a contact portion to come in contact with the tab; and an elastic reinforcing piece provided on an opposite side to the space with the elastic contact piece interposed therebetween, having a configuration as to be extended like a cantilever in the direction of the insertion and pull-out of the tab from the wall-shaped portion constituting the body portion, and causing an extended end to correspond to a displaced region in an elastic flexure in the elastic contact piece.

Terminal fitting

A rubber plug () is provided with a stable sealing property while reducing frictional resistance when the rubber plug () is inserted into a cavity. In a cross section including axis lines of the rubber plug (), a cavity () and a wire (), areas of outer lips (A,B) not resiliently deformed radially outward of a virtual line (L) corresponding to the inner circumferential surface of the cavity () are specified as outer virtual deforming portions (A,B), areas of inner lips (A,B andC) not resiliently deformed radially inward of a virtual line (L) corresponding to the outer circumferential surface of the wire () are specified as inner virtual deforming portions (A,B, andC) and at least parts of the inner virtual deforming portions (A,B andC) correspond to only parts of the outer virtual deforming portions (A,B).
