Abstract

When molds (), () are caused to mesh so that a crimping portion () is compressed, the crimping portion () is crimped to conductive wires () and a cover portion (). A conductor crimping portion () is completely compressed by the molds (), (). A cover crimping portion () preliminarily compresses the cover portion (). Next, temporarily compressed terminal-equipped electrical wires are disposed between different molds. When the molds are caused to mesh so that the crimping portion () is compressed, the cover crimping portion () is forcefully compressed. In other words, the cover crimping portion () is subjected to final compression. In other words, the present invention is provided with a first compression step for preliminarily compressing the cover portion () and a second compression step for forcefully compressing the covering part.
