Description

本発明は、端子付き電線に関し、さらに詳しくは、自動車等の車両に配索される端子付き電線の電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部に防食処理が施された端子付き電線に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a terminal-attached electric wire, and more particularly to a terminal-attached electric wire in which a terminal of an electric wire conductor of a terminal-attached electric wire arranged in a vehicle such as an automobile and an electric connection portion of a terminal fitting are subjected to anticorrosion treatment. is there.

自動車等の車両に配索される絶縁電線の端末には端子金具が接続されている。絶縁電線の電線導体と端子金具の電気接続部の接触部分に水分が侵入すると、電線導体と端子金具との間で電池が形成されて金属腐食が発生することがある。電線導体と端子金具が互いに異なる金属種で形成されている場合には、その接触部分で金属腐食が特に発生しやすい。そこで特許文献1では、端子金具の絶縁被覆かしめ部と電線導体かしめ部の間の電線導体の露出部分などに樹脂を塗布して覆っている。   A terminal fitting is connected to a terminal of an insulated wire routed in a vehicle such as an automobile. If moisture enters the contact portion between the electric wire conductor of the insulated wire and the electric connection portion of the terminal fitting, a battery may be formed between the electric wire conductor and the terminal fitting and metal corrosion may occur. When the wire conductor and the terminal fitting are made of different metal species, metal corrosion is particularly likely to occur at the contact portion. Therefore, in Patent Document 1, a resin is applied to cover an exposed portion of the electric wire conductor between the insulation coating caulking portion and the electric wire conductor caulking portion of the terminal fitting.

このような防食処理に用いる樹脂が熱可塑性樹脂である場合には、絶縁電線の端末に接続された端子金具をコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内に収容した後、端子金具を収容したコネクタハウジングが高温にさらされたときに、防食処理に用いた熱可塑性樹脂がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に密着してしまうという問題がある。絶縁電線の配策をやり直すなどのために、この状態でコネクタハウジングのキャビティから端子金具を抜くことがあると、防食処理に用いた熱可塑性樹脂が電線導体の表面などから剥がれて腐食の原因となる。   When the resin used for such anticorrosion treatment is a thermoplastic resin, after the terminal fitting connected to the end of the insulated wire is accommodated in the cavity of the connector housing, the connector housing containing the terminal fitting is exposed to high temperature. When this is done, there is a problem that the thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment comes into close contact with the inner wall of the connector housing cavity. If the terminal fitting is pulled out of the connector housing cavity in this state to re-route the insulated wires, etc., the thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment may peel off from the surface of the wire conductor and cause corrosion. Become.

本発明が解決しようとする課題は、電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部に防食処理が施された端子付き電線の端子金具がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内に収容された状態で高温にさらされても防食処理に用いた材料がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に密着しないようにした端子付き電線を提供することにある。   The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the terminal fitting of the terminal-attached electric wire subjected to the anticorrosion treatment at the electric connection portion of the terminal of the electric wire conductor and the terminal fitting is exposed to a high temperature in a state where it is accommodated in the cavity of the connector housing. However, an object of the present invention is to provide a terminal-attached electric wire in which the material used for the anticorrosion treatment does not adhere to the inner wall of the cavity of the connector housing.

上記課題を解決するため本発明に係る端子付き電線は、電線導体の外周に絶縁体が被覆されて構成される絶縁電線の端末で前記絶縁体が皮剥されて露出された電線導体の端末に端子金具が接続されるとともに、該電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部がJIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点150℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂によって覆われていることを要旨とするものである。   In order to solve the above problems, a terminal-attached electric wire according to the present invention has a terminal at an end of an electric wire conductor that is exposed by peeling off the insulator at the end of an insulated wire constituted by covering the outer periphery of the electric wire conductor with an insulator. The gist is that the end of the wire conductor and the electrical connection portion of the terminal fitting are covered with a thermoplastic resin having a softening point of 150 ° C. or higher as measured in accordance with JIS K6863. is there.

この場合、前記熱可塑性樹脂にはポリアミド樹脂が含まれていることが好ましい。そして、前記熱可塑性樹脂に占めるポリアミド樹脂の割合が70質量%以上であることが好ましい。また、前記端子金具が銅または銅合金によって形成されており、前記電線導体がアルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金によって形成されていることが好ましい。   In this case, it is preferable that the thermoplastic resin contains a polyamide resin. And it is preferable that the ratio of the polyamide resin to the said thermoplastic resin is 70 mass% or more. Moreover, it is preferable that the said terminal metal fitting is formed of copper or copper alloy, and the said electric wire conductor is formed of aluminum or aluminum alloy.

本発明に係る端子付き電線によれば、電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部がJIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点150℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂によって覆われているので、端子金具をコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内に収容した状態で高温にさらされても、防食処理に用いている上記熱可塑性樹脂がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に密着しないようにすることができる。車載環境では120℃の高温にさらされるおそれがあるが、このような高温にさらされても、防食処理に用いている上記熱可塑性樹脂がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に密着しないようにすることができる。したがって、防食剤としての上記熱可塑性樹脂が剥がれて腐食の原因となることがないから、防食性能の信頼性に優れる。   According to the electric wire with a terminal according to the present invention, the terminal of the electric wire conductor and the electric connection portion of the terminal fitting are covered with the thermoplastic resin having a softening point of 150 ° C. or higher measured according to JIS K6863. The thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment can be prevented from coming into close contact with the inner wall of the cavity of the connector housing even if it is exposed to a high temperature while being accommodated in the cavity of the connector housing. Although there is a risk of being exposed to a high temperature of 120 ° C. in an in-vehicle environment, the thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment can be prevented from being in close contact with the cavity inner wall of the connector housing even when exposed to such a high temperature. . Therefore, since the thermoplastic resin as the anticorrosive agent is not peeled off and causes corrosion, the anticorrosion performance is excellent in reliability.

この際、上記熱可塑性樹脂にポリアミド樹脂が含まれていると、端子金具や電線導体との密着性が向上するため、防食剤としての上記熱可塑性樹脂と端子金具あるいは電線導体との間から電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部の接触部分に水が侵入するのを抑える効果が向上し、防食性能が向上する。熱可塑性樹脂に占めるポリアミド樹脂の割合が70質量%以上であると、その効果が特に高い。   At this time, if the thermoplastic resin contains a polyamide resin, the adhesion between the terminal fitting and the wire conductor is improved, and therefore, the electric wire is inserted between the thermoplastic resin as the anticorrosive and the terminal fitting or the wire conductor. The effect of suppressing water from entering the contact portion between the terminal of the conductor and the electrical connection portion of the terminal fitting is improved, and the anticorrosion performance is improved. The effect is particularly high when the proportion of the polyamide resin in the thermoplastic resin is 70% by mass or more.

そして、端子金具が銅または銅合金によって形成されており、電線導体がアルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金によって形成されていると、電線導体の端末と端子金具の電気接続部の接触部分に水が侵入することによって異種金属接触腐食が生じやすいが、このような異種金属接触腐食を抑えることができる点で、本発明は有用なものであるといえる。   And when the terminal fitting is made of copper or a copper alloy and the electric wire conductor is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy, water penetrates into the contact portion between the terminal of the electric wire conductor and the electric connection portion of the terminal fitting. Although different metal contact corrosion is likely to occur, it can be said that the present invention is useful in that such different metal contact corrosion can be suppressed.

A part (for example, a contact) or the entire surface of the terminal fitting 14 may be plated with various metals having electrical conductivity such as tin, nickel, and gold.

電線導体18の金属素線20がアルミニウムもしくはアルミニウム合金からなり、端子金具14が銅、銅合金、もしくは錫メッキ材からなる場合、端子金具14と電線導体18との電気接続部では、異種金属接触部が形成される。   When the metal wire 20 of the electric wire conductor 18 is made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and the terminal fitting 14 is made of copper, a copper alloy, or a tin plating material, at the electrical connection portion between the terminal fitting 14 and the electric wire conductor 18, a different metal contact is made. Part is formed.

絶縁電線12の端末で露出された電線導体18は、端子金具14のワイヤバレル14cにより加締められて、ワイヤバレル14cにより部分的に覆われているものの、ワイヤバレル14cよりも先端側と後端側で露出されている。そのため、端子金具14と電線導体18との電気接続部は露出されている部分が存在している。   The wire conductor 18 exposed at the end of the insulated wire 12 is crimped by the wire barrel 14c of the terminal fitting 14 and partially covered by the wire barrel 14c, but the front end side and the rear end of the wire barrel 14c. Exposed on the side. Therefore, an exposed portion of the electrical connection portion between the terminal fitting 14 and the wire conductor 18 exists.

図1(b)、図2に示すように、ワイヤバレル14cよりも先端側で露出されている先端側導体18aよりも先端側の端子基部14bから、ワイヤバレル14cよりも後端側で露出されている後端側導体18bよりも後端側の絶縁体22まで、端子金具14と電線導体18との電気接続部は、樹脂皮膜16により覆われている。すなわち、端子基部14bの表面と、端子基部14bに隣接する先端側導体18aの表面と、先端側導体18aに隣接するワイヤバレル14cの表面と、ワイヤバレル14cに隣接する後端側導体18bの表面と、後端側導体18bに隣接する絶縁体22の表面は、樹脂皮膜16により連続的に覆われている。これにより、電線導体18は、先端側導体18aおよび後端側導体18bを含む導体露出部分が樹脂皮膜16により覆われている。すなわち、電線導体18の端末と端子金具14の電気接続部が樹脂皮膜16により覆われている。   As shown in FIGS. 1B and 2, the terminal base portion 14 b that is exposed on the tip side of the tip side conductor 18 a that is exposed on the tip side of the wire barrel 14 c is exposed on the rear end side of the wire barrel 14 c. The electrical connection portion between the terminal fitting 14 and the wire conductor 18 is covered with the resin film 16 up to the insulator 22 on the rear end side with respect to the rear end side conductor 18b. That is, the surface of the terminal base portion 14b, the surface of the front end side conductor 18a adjacent to the terminal base portion 14b, the surface of the wire barrel 14c adjacent to the front end side conductor 18a, and the surface of the rear end side conductor 18b adjacent to the wire barrel 14c. The surface of the insulator 22 adjacent to the rear end side conductor 18 b is continuously covered with the resin film 16. Thereby, the conductor exposed portion including the front end side conductor 18a and the rear end side conductor 18b of the electric wire conductor 18 is covered with the resin film 16. That is, the terminal of the electric wire conductor 18 and the electrical connection portion of the terminal fitting 14 are covered with the resin film 16.

樹脂皮膜16は、熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料によって構成されている。この材料が、端子付き電線10の電気接続部の防食剤として機能する。熱可塑性樹脂には、JIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点150℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂が用いられる。熱可塑性樹脂は、1種類の熱可塑性樹脂で構成されていても良いし、2種類以上の熱可塑性樹脂の組み合わせによって構成されていても良い。   The resin film 16 is made of a material containing a thermoplastic resin. This material functions as an anticorrosive for the electrical connection portion of the terminal-attached electric wire 10. As the thermoplastic resin, a thermoplastic resin having a softening point of 150 ° C. or higher measured according to JIS K6863 is used. The thermoplastic resin may be composed of one kind of thermoplastic resin, or may be composed of a combination of two or more kinds of thermoplastic resins.

樹脂皮膜16に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂には、ポリアミド樹脂が含まれていることが好ましい。熱可塑性樹脂にポリアミド樹脂が含まれていると、端子金具14や電線導体18との密着性が向上する。このため、樹脂皮膜16と端子金具14あるいは電線導体18との間から電線導体18の端末と端子金具14の電気接続部の接触部分に水が侵入するのを抑える効果が向上し、防食性能が向上する。熱可塑性樹脂に占めるポリアミド樹脂の割合が70質量%以上であると、その効果が特に高い。   The thermoplastic resin contained in the resin film 16 preferably contains a polyamide resin. When polyamide resin is contained in the thermoplastic resin, adhesion to the terminal fitting 14 and the wire conductor 18 is improved. For this reason, the effect which suppresses that water penetrate | invades into the contact part of the terminal of the electric wire conductor 18 and the electrical-connection part of the terminal metal fitting 14 between the resin film 16 and the terminal metal fitting 14 or the electric wire conductor 18 improves, and anticorrosion performance is improved. improves. The effect is particularly high when the proportion of the polyamide resin in the thermoplastic resin is 70% by mass or more.

樹脂皮膜16に含まれる熱可塑性樹脂には、ポリアミド樹脂とともにポリオレフィン樹脂が含まれていても良い。絶縁体22の主材料にポリオレフィン樹脂が用いられる場合には、熱可塑性樹脂にポリオレフィン樹脂が含まれていると、絶縁体22との密着性が向上する。このため、樹脂皮膜16と絶縁体22との間から電線導体18の端末と端子金具14の電気接続部の接触部分に水が侵入するのを抑える効果が向上し、防食性能が向上する。熱可塑性樹脂に占めるポリオレフィン樹脂の割合が10質量%以上であると、その効果が特に高い。   The thermoplastic resin contained in the resin film 16 may contain a polyolefin resin together with the polyamide resin. In the case where a polyolefin resin is used as the main material of the insulator 22, if the thermoplastic resin contains the polyolefin resin, the adhesion with the insulator 22 is improved. For this reason, the effect which suppresses that water penetrate | invades into the contact part of the terminal part of the electric wire conductor 18 and the electrical-connection part of the terminal metal fitting 14 between the resin film 16 and the insulator 22 improves, and anticorrosion performance improves. The effect is particularly high when the proportion of the polyolefin resin in the thermoplastic resin is 10% by mass or more.

樹脂皮膜16の熱可塑性樹脂に含まれても良いポリオレフィン樹脂としては、絶縁体22のポリオレフィン樹脂と同様のものを挙げることができる。絶縁体22との密着性により優れるなどの観点から、樹脂皮膜16のポリオレフィン樹脂は、絶縁体22のポリオレフィン樹脂と同種のポリオレフィン樹脂であることが好ましい。同種のポリオレフィン樹脂とは、例えば、一方がポリプロピレンで他方もポリプロピレンである場合などをいう。   Examples of the polyolefin resin that may be included in the thermoplastic resin of the resin film 16 include the same as the polyolefin resin of the insulator 22. The polyolefin resin of the resin film 16 is preferably the same type of polyolefin resin as the polyolefin resin of the insulator 22 from the viewpoint of being superior in adhesion to the insulator 22. The same type of polyolefin resin refers to a case where one is polypropylene and the other is polypropylene, for example.

樹脂皮膜16のポリオレフィン樹脂が酸変性ポリオレフィン樹脂を含む場合には、ポリオレフィン樹脂によって絶縁体22との密着性が向上するだけでなく、端子金具14や電線導体18との密着性も向上する。酸変性ポリオレフィン樹脂の酸価数としては、5〜60KOHmg/gの範囲内であることが好ましい。より好ましくは、20〜55KOHmg/gの範囲内である。酸価数が5〜60KOHmg/gの範囲内にある場合には、端子金具14や電線導体18との密着性が特に高まる。この観点から、酸変性ポリオレフィン樹脂の酸変性量は、1〜10質量%の範囲内であることが好ましい。   When the polyolefin resin of the resin film 16 contains an acid-modified polyolefin resin, not only the adhesion to the insulator 22 is improved by the polyolefin resin, but also the adhesion to the terminal fitting 14 and the wire conductor 18 is improved. The acid number of the acid-modified polyolefin resin is preferably in the range of 5 to 60 KOHmg / g. More preferably, it is in the range of 20 to 55 KOH mg / g. When the acid number is in the range of 5 to 60 KOHmg / g, the adhesion to the terminal fitting 14 and the wire conductor 18 is particularly enhanced. From this viewpoint, the acid-modified amount of the acid-modified polyolefin resin is preferably in the range of 1 to 10% by mass.

樹脂皮膜16の熱可塑性樹脂がポリアミド樹脂とポリオレフィン樹脂の組み合わせである場合、端子金具14や電線導体18との密着性と、絶縁体22との密着性とのバランスなどの観点から、ポリアミド樹脂とポリオレフィン樹脂の割合(質量%)は、ポリアミド樹脂:ポリオレフィン樹脂=70:30〜90:10の範囲内であることが好ましい。より好ましくはポリアミド樹脂:ポリオレフィン樹脂=75:25〜85:15の範囲内である。   When the thermoplastic resin of the resin film 16 is a combination of a polyamide resin and a polyolefin resin, from the viewpoint of the balance between the adhesion to the terminal fitting 14 and the electric wire conductor 18 and the adhesion to the insulator 22, the polyamide resin and The ratio (mass%) of the polyolefin resin is preferably in the range of polyamide resin: polyolefin resin = 70: 30 to 90:10. More preferably, it is within the range of polyamide resin: polyolefin resin = 75: 25 to 85:15.

樹脂皮膜16は、熱可塑性樹脂のみで構成されていても良いし、必要に応じて、物性を損なわない範囲で、添加剤を含んでいても良い。このような添加剤としては、一般的に樹脂成形材料に使用される添加剤であれば特に限定されるものではない。具体的には、酸化防止剤、無機充填剤、金属不活性剤(銅害防止剤)、紫外線吸収剤、紫外線隠蔽剤、難燃剤、難燃助剤、加工助剤(滑剤、ワックスなど)、カーボンおよびその他の着色剤(顔料など)、粘着付与剤、可撓性付与剤、耐衝撃性付与剤、有機充填剤、希釈剤(溶媒など)、揺変剤、消泡剤、レベリング剤などを挙げることができる。   The resin film 16 may be composed of only a thermoplastic resin, or may contain an additive as long as the physical properties are not impaired. Such an additive is not particularly limited as long as it is an additive generally used for a resin molding material. Specifically, antioxidants, inorganic fillers, metal deactivators (copper damage inhibitors), UV absorbers, UV masking agents, flame retardants, flame retardant aids, processing aids (such as lubricants and waxes), Carbon and other colorants (pigments, etc.), tackifiers, flexibility agents, impact resistance agents, organic fillers, diluents (solvents, etc.), thixotropic agents, antifoaming agents, leveling agents, etc. Can be mentioned.

樹脂皮膜16は、流動可能な状態にされた熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料を所定の場所に塗工することにより形成できる。具体的には、例えば、熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料を希釈する溶媒を用いて塗工しても良いし、熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料の流動温度まで加熱して塗工しても良い。   The resin film 16 can be formed by applying a material containing a thermoplastic resin in a flowable state to a predetermined place. Specifically, for example, the coating may be performed using a solvent for diluting the material containing the thermoplastic resin, or the coating may be performed by heating to the flow temperature of the material containing the thermoplastic resin.

上記構成の端子付き電線10は、端子金具14がコネクタハウジングの端子金具14を収容するキャビティ内に収容された状態で相手側の端子付き電線の端子金具と嵌合接続される。コネクタハウジングは、ポリブチレンテレフタレート(PBT)などの成形性、寸法性に優れる材料によって形成されている。車載環境では、コネクタハウジングや端子付き電線などの車載配策製品は、例えばエンジンルームなどの場所に配置されて120℃の高温にさらされる場合がある。コネクタハウジングのキャビティ内に収容された端子金具14の電線導体18との電気接続部は、樹脂皮膜16により覆われている。このとき、樹脂皮膜16はコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に接するか、あるいはキャビティ内壁に非常に近い位置に配置されている。本発明に係る端子付き電線10においては、樹脂皮膜16の熱可塑性樹脂がJIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点150℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂であるため、端子金具14をコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内に収容した状態でこのような高温にさらされても、防食処理に用いている上記熱可塑性樹脂がコネクタハウジングのキャビティ内壁に密着しない。したがって、防食剤としての上記熱可塑性樹脂が剥がれて腐食の原因となることがないから、防食性能の信頼性に優れる。   The terminal-attached electric wire 10 having the above configuration is fitted and connected to the terminal fitting of the mating terminal-attached electric wire in a state where the terminal fitting 14 is housed in a cavity for housing the terminal fitting 14 of the connector housing. The connector housing is made of a material excellent in moldability and dimensionality such as polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). In an in-vehicle environment, an in-vehicle distribution product such as a connector housing or an electric wire with a terminal may be placed in a place such as an engine room and exposed to a high temperature of 120 ° C. The electrical connection portion of the terminal fitting 14 housed in the cavity of the connector housing with the wire conductor 18 is covered with a resin film 16. At this time, the resin film 16 is disposed in contact with the inner wall of the connector housing or very close to the inner wall of the cavity. In the terminal-attached electric wire 10 according to the present invention, since the thermoplastic resin of the resin film 16 is a thermoplastic resin having a softening point of 150 ° C. or higher measured according to JIS K6863, the terminal fitting 14 is placed in the cavity of the connector housing. The thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment does not adhere to the cavity inner wall of the connector housing even if it is exposed to such a high temperature while being housed in the housing. Therefore, since the thermoplastic resin as the anticorrosive agent is not peeled off and causes corrosion, the anticorrosion performance is excellent in reliability.

防食処理に用いる上記熱可塑性樹脂は、例えば150℃のさらに高温にさらされる車載環境などでも使用に適するなどの観点から、JIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点が160℃以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは170℃以上である。なお、上記熱可塑性樹脂の軟化点が高すぎると上記熱可塑性樹脂の塗工時などに端子金具14や電線導体18などが熱劣化を起こすおそれがあるため、これを防止するなどの観点から、JIS K6863に準拠して測定される軟化点が250℃以下であることが好ましい。   The thermoplastic resin used for the anticorrosion treatment may have a softening point of 160 ° C. or higher in accordance with JIS K6863 from the viewpoint of being suitable for use in, for example, an in-vehicle environment exposed to a higher temperature of 150 ° C. preferable. More preferably, it is 170 degreeC or more. In addition, if the softening point of the thermoplastic resin is too high, the terminal fitting 14 or the electric wire conductor 18 may be thermally deteriorated when the thermoplastic resin is applied. From the viewpoint of preventing this, The softening point measured according to JIS K6863 is preferably 250 ° C. or lower.

樹脂皮膜16には、耐熱性や機械的強度を上げるなどの目的で、必要に応じて、架橋処理が施されても良い。架橋方法は、熱架橋、化学架橋、シラン架橋、電子線架橋、紫外線架橋等、その手段は特に限定されるものではない。   The resin film 16 may be subjected to a crosslinking treatment as necessary for the purpose of increasing heat resistance and mechanical strength. There are no particular limitations on the means of crosslinking, such as thermal crosslinking, chemical crosslinking, silane crosslinking, electron beam crosslinking, and ultraviolet crosslinking.

熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料の物性としては、曲げの力が加わった場合でも樹脂皮膜16が剥離しにくくなるなどの観点から、伸びが10%以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは30%以上、さらに好ましくは50%以上である。この場合の伸びは、JIS K 6251に準拠して測定される引張伸びである。また、絶縁体22との密着性を確保するなどの観点から、絶縁体22との接着強度は1.0MPa以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは1.5MPa以上、さらに好ましくは2.0MPa以上である。この場合の接着強度は、JIS K 6850に準拠して測定される引張せん断接着強度である。また、端子金具14や電線導体18との密着性を確保するなどの観点から、端子金具14や電線導体18との接着強度は1.0MPa以上であることが好ましい。より好ましくは1.5MPa以上、さらに好ましくは2.0MPa以上である。この場合の接着強度は、JIS K 6850に準拠して測定される引張せん断接着強度である。   As a physical property of the material containing the thermoplastic resin, it is preferable that the elongation is 10% or more from the viewpoint that the resin film 16 becomes difficult to peel even when a bending force is applied. More preferably, it is 30% or more, More preferably, it is 50% or more. The elongation in this case is a tensile elongation measured according to JIS K 6251. Further, from the viewpoint of ensuring adhesion with the insulator 22, the adhesive strength with the insulator 22 is preferably 1.0 MPa or more. More preferably, it is 1.5 MPa or more, More preferably, it is 2.0 MPa or more. The adhesive strength in this case is a tensile shear adhesive strength measured according to JIS K 6850. Further, from the standpoint of ensuring adhesion with the terminal fitting 14 and the electric wire conductor 18, the adhesive strength with the terminal fitting 14 and the electric wire conductor 18 is preferably 1.0 MPa or more. More preferably, it is 1.5 MPa or more, More preferably, it is 2.0 MPa or more. The adhesive strength in this case is a tensile shear adhesive strength measured according to JIS K 6850.

熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料は、塗工性の観点から、180℃での粘度が1000〜5000mPa・sの範囲内にあることが好ましい。この場合の粘度は、JIS Z8803に準拠して測定される。なお、測定に用いる粘度計は、回転粘度計である。上記粘度としては、より好ましくは1500〜4500mPa・sの範囲内である。   The material containing the thermoplastic resin preferably has a viscosity at 180 ° C. in the range of 1000 to 5000 mPa · s from the viewpoint of coatability. The viscosity in this case is measured according to JIS Z8803. The viscometer used for the measurement is a rotational viscometer. The viscosity is more preferably in the range of 1500 to 4500 mPa · s.

熱可塑性樹脂を含む材料は、塗工後には、冷却されて固化するので、取り扱い時にベタつくおそれがないことはもとより、長期にわたって塗布した場所に定着できる。そのため、長期にわたって防食効果を維持できる。   Since the material containing the thermoplastic resin is cooled and solidified after coating, it can be fixed to a place where it has been applied over a long period of time, as well as being free from stickiness during handling. Therefore, the anticorrosion effect can be maintained over a long period of time.
