Abstract
The present invention discloses a crimping terminal which can interrupt immersion of water in an electric cable and maintain a waterproof function of a mating member, thereby enhancing reliability of connection between electric cables. A crimping terminal is provided on each of cylindrical opposite ends with a crimping portion having an insertion hole with a bottom, which receives core wires e in an electric cable C. A solid body is formed between the crimping portions in a liquid-tight manner. Preferably, the crimping terminal is used together with a thermal-shrinkable tube having an adhesive on its inner surface so that the thermal-shrinkable tube comes into close contact with outer surfaces of the crimping portions and electric cables C.
