Abstract
A fiber conductor wire structure includes a fiber conductor and a terminal. The fiber conductor has a first portion with an outer insulating resin and a second portion with an outer conductive metal. The second portion defines a knot. The terminal has a hole for inserting the fiber conductor. The hole has a receiving portion configured to receive the knot in locked engagement and electrical connection with the terminal. A connecting method for the fiber conductor wire includes forming a knot with a portion of a fiber conductor having an outer conductive metal, inserting the fiber conductor into a hole of a terminal, and pulling the fiber conductor through the hole to engage the knot with a receiving portion of the terminal to place the knot in locked engagement and electrical connection with the terminal.
