Abstract
Abstract A fitting terminal for electrically connecting to a high-voltage resistor electric wire having a lead which is exposed by stripping an end portion of an insulation cover. The terminal fitting includes a main terminal which consists of an electric contact portion, a wire retaining portion and a conductor receiving plate disposed therebetween. The receiving plate is provided with a recess facing the wire retaining portion for receiving the exposed end of the conductor of the high-voltage resistor wire. The exposed end is adhered to the recessed portion of the receiving plate using a conductive adhesive substance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
187 words
A terminal fitting for connection to a high voltage wire including a conductor and an insulation layer circumscribing said conductor except for an exposed end portion of said conductor which extends from said insulation layer, said terminal fitting comprising: a main terminal including a wire retaining portion at one end thereof for receiving and retaining said wire and an electrical contact portion disposed at the other end of said main terminal adapted to be connected to another terminal; a conductor receiving plate fixedly secured and electrically coupled to said main terminal at a position between said wire retaining portion and said electrical contact portion, said plate being disposed orthogonally to a longitudinal axis of said main terminal and having a recessed portion disposed therein facing said wire retaining portion and extending in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis such that said exposed end portion of a conductor can be longitudinally received in said recess without forming a bend in said exposed end portion; and means for adhering said exposed end portion of said conductor within said recessed portion and in electrical contact with said receiving plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
187 words
A terminal fitting for connection to a high voltage wire including a conductor and an insulation layer circumscribing said conductor except for an exposed end portion of said conductor which extends from said insulation layer, said terminal fitting comprising: a main terminal including a wire retaining portion at one end thereof for receiving and retaining said wire and an electrical contact portion disposed at the other end of said main terminal adapted to be connected to another terminal; a conductor receiving plate fixedly secured and electrically coupled to said main terminal at a position between said wire retaining portion and said electrical contact portion, said plate being disposed orthogonally to a longitudinal axis of said main terminal and having a recessed portion disposed therein facing said wire retaining portion and extending in a direction parallel to a longitudinal axis such that said exposed end portion of a conductor can be longitudinally received in said recess without forming a bend in said exposed end portion; and means for adhering said exposed end portion of said conductor within said recessed portion and in electrical contact with said receiving plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The terminal fitting of claim 1, wherein said conductor receiving plate comprises a portion of said main terminal which is at least partially cut-out from a base portion thereof and bent inwardly so as to be disposed orthogonally to said longitudinal axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The terminal fitting of claim 1, wherein said recessed portion is integral to said receiving plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
40 words
The fitting terminal of claim 1, wherein said receiving plate comprises a portion of said main terminal which is provided to project from a side wall thereof and bent inwardly so as to be disposed orthogonally to said longitudinal axis.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The fitting terminal of claim 1, wherein said wire retaining portion is substantially U-shaped including a plurality of prongs extending therefrom, said prongs being bendable over a wire to be connected to retain said wire within said retaining portion.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The fitting terminal of claim 1, wherein said adhesive is electrically conductive.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
The terminal fitting of claim 1, wherein said recessed portion is cup-shaped.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
13 words
The terminal fitting of claim 1, wherein said adhering means comprises an adhesive.
