Abstract
A wire end processing method includes tree steps. In a core wire portion exposing step, a sheath of a wire is stripped so as to expose a core wire portion composed of a plurality of element wires. In a core wire portion unifying step, ultrasonic vibration is applied to the exposed core wire portion while applying a pressure thereto, thereby causing the plurality of the element wires to rub against one another so as to unify the core wire portion. In a terminal connecting step, the unified core wire portion is press-contacted or press-fitted to the terminal.
