Abstract
The invention intends to simplify the connecting operation of an insulated wire and a pin terminal, and to reduce the cost of connection. A spiral part of the insulated wire having a spiral end according to the invention is formed by removing an insulation at an end of the insulated wire to expose a conductor, and winding the exposed conductor into a spiral form by 1.5 folds or more to produce a spiral part. The insulated wire and the pin terminal are connected in such a manner that the pin terminal is inserted into the central opening of the spiral part, and the spiral part and the pin terminal are fixed with a fixing material, such as solder, or binding agent having a high conductivity. When a solder coating is formed on the conductor in the spiral part, it is possible to fix the spiral part and the pin terminal only by heating the spiral part to melt the coating solder.
