In the measurement, the distance between marks was 250 mm, and the tensile speed was 50 mm/min.
- the produced electric wire conductor was cut into a length of 104 mm, and crimped and connected with a crimp terminal to obtain a conductor with a terminal.
- a crimp terminal made of a copper alloy was used, and when crimping and connecting, the wire conductor was sandwiched and compressed from the opposite direction in a region extending from 1.6 to 3.0 mm in length along the axial direction of the wire conductor. .
- As the crimping portion two types of crimping portions, low compression and high compression, were formed by changing the degree of compression with respect to the conductor. The low-compression state is employed in a normal connection between a connector terminal and a wire conductor, and the high-compression state corresponds to a state in which the wire conductor is compressed under more severe conditions than usual.
- a crimp terminal was fixed to the obtained conductor with terminal, and the wire conductor was pulled. Then, the maximum value of the force applied until the wire conductor broke at the crimped portion was recorded as the crimping strength.
- the tensile speed was set to 100 mm/min. In all samples, the breakage of the crimped portion was caused by the breakage of the wire conductor itself inside the crimp terminal, not by the separation of the conductor from the crimp terminal.
- FIG. 3 shows the relationship between various properties (horizontal axis) and crimping strength (vertical axis) for the electric wire conductor that has undergone heat treatment by continuous softening.
- the characteristics shown on the horizontal axis are the tensile strength of the entire electric wire conductor in the upper row, the hardness of the SUS core wire in the middle row, and the hardness of the copper coating layer in the lower row.

- the graph is omitted, even in the sample heat-treated by batch softening, a crimping strength of 30 N or more was obtained in the range of the tensile strength of the conductor from 1050 MPa to 1300 MPa.
- a crimping strength of 30 N or more is obtained in a region where the tensile strength of the wire conductor is generally 950 MPa or more and 1080 MPa or less. In a region where the tensile strength is higher than 1080 MPa, the crimping strength is lowered. This is probably because the material strength of the crimp terminal was reduced due to the hardness of the wire conductor, and the wire conductor could not be firmly held by the crimp terminal.
- the crimping strength of the copper alloy conductor of the reference sample was 23.6 N in the case of low compression and 25.4 N in the case of high compression.

- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the tensile strength and crimping strength of the entire electric wire conductor when SUS 304H and SUS 304L are used for the core wire. Also, in the figure, the value of the elongation at break of the entire wire conductor is displayed near each data point. The upper figure is for low compression, and the lower figure is for high compression. The data for SUS 304H shown in FIG. 4 are the same as shown in FIG.
- the tensile strength of the wire conductor is 950 MPa or more and the breaking elongation is 1.5% or more, regardless of whether the core wire is SUS 304H or SUS 304L.
- a crimping strength of 30 N or more can be obtained. From this, it can be said that a sufficiently high crimp strength can be achieved in a normal terminal connection portion by using a wire conductor with a tensile strength of 950 MPa or more and a breaking elongation of 1.5% or more. I can say It is believed that the wire conductor exhibits high elongation during crimping, thereby improving the crimping strength.
- SUS 304H has a crimping strength of 30 N or more at all data points, while SUS 304L , where the tensile strength is high, the crimping strength is low. That is, SUS 304H has a wider region than SUS 304L in which a crimping strength of 30 N or more can be obtained. Similarly, in the case of high compressibility, SUS 304H has a crimping strength of 30 N or more in a wider region.
- SUS 304H exhibits a greater elongation at break after heat treatment than SUS 304L, and it was seen in Fig. 4 that SUS 304H provides higher crimp strength in a wider range of tensile strength. presumed to be related to the phenomenon It is also confirmed from Table 2 that the electric resistance value of the electric wire conductor obtained is suppressed to 660 m ⁇ /m or less under all heat treatment conditions when either material of SUS 304H or SUS 304L is used.
- the configuration of the flat electric wire described above can also be applied to the case of using any electric wire conductor other than the electric wire conductor according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
- any electric wire conductor other than the electric wire conductor according to the embodiment of the present disclosure.
- the diameter of the wire conductor can be reduced.

最初に本開示の実施形態を列記して説明する。
本開示にかかる電線導体は、導体断面積が0.13mm2未満であり、電気抵抗が660mΩ/m以下であり、引張強さが950MPa以上であり、破断伸びが1.5%以上であり、単線の状態で使用される。
以下に、本開示の実施形態について、図面を用いて詳細に説明する。本明細書において、「平行」「垂直」等、部材の形状や配置を示す語には、幾何的に厳密な概念のみならず、通信用電線として一般に許容される範囲の誤差も含むものとする。また、本明細書において、各種物性は、大気中、室温(おおむね15~25℃)にて計測される値とする。
本開示の実施形態にかかる通信用電線は、導体断面積が0.13mm2未満であり、電気抵抗が660mΩ/m以下である。そして、引張強さが950MPa以上であり、破断伸びが1.5%以上である。本開示の実施形態にかかる絶縁電線は、上記の電線導体と、電線導体1本の外周を被覆する絶縁被覆と、を有するものである。
次に、上記のように、導体断面積を0.13mm2未満とした場合に、660mΩ/m以下の電気抵抗、950MPa以上の引張強さ、1.5%以上の破断伸びを兼ね備える、単線の電線導体の例として、芯線と被覆層の2層構造を有する電線導体、およびそのような電線導体を備えた絶縁電線について説明する。図1に、そのような電線導体10を含んだ絶縁電線1の断面を表示する。絶縁電線1においては、1本の電線導体10の外周を被覆して、絶縁被覆20が形成されている。
次に、上に挙げたSUS芯線11と銅被覆層12の2層構造を有する電線導体10が有する特性について、詳細に説明する。
上記の2層構造を有する電線導体10を製造する方法としては、例えば、伸線によって所定の径を有するSUSの芯線11を製造したうえで、めっきや蒸着により、銅被覆層12をその芯線11の表面に形成すればよい。あるいは、芯線11となるSUS材の周囲に、銅被覆層12となる環状の銅材を嵌め込み、所定の径まで一体に伸線することでも、電線導体10を製造することができる。
2層構造を有する電線導体10等、本開示の実施形態にかかる電線導体は、どのような形態で使用されてもよく、図1に示したような1本の電線導体10の全周を絶縁被覆20で被覆した単純な絶縁電線1を構成する形態に限られない。上記実施形態にかかる電線導体10を用いて、他の形態の絶縁電線を構成する場合の例として、フラット電線について、簡単に説明する。
まず、SUS芯線と銅被覆層を有する2層構造の電線導体について、電線導体全体としての引張強さおよび各部の硬度と、端子圧着部における圧着強度との関係について検証した。
SUS 304H材よりなる芯線と、純銅よりなる銅被覆層とを有する電線導体を作製した。芯線の外径は、φ0.16mmとし、銅被覆層の厚さは45μmとした。電線導体全体として、外径がφ0.25mm、導体断面積にして0.05mm2となった。得られた電線導体に対して、連続軟化により、熱処理を行った。熱処理条件は、図3の上段に横軸として表示した所定の引張強さが得られるように、それぞれ設定した。加熱温度は、おおむね100℃~400℃の範囲内であった。別途、バッチ式加熱により、100℃~400℃の複数の温度で1時間の熱処理を行った試料も作成した。電線導体の電気抵抗は、いずれの条件の熱処理を経た場合にも、660mΩ/m以下であった。合わせて、参照試料として、導体断面積0.05mm2の銅合金導体(引張強さ:740MPa、破断伸び:2.1%)も準備した。
・電線導体の引張強さ
作製した各電線導体に対して、JIS Z 2241に準拠した引張試験により、破断時の引張強さを評価した。この際、電線導体が全体として破断した時点を、破断時とみなした。測定に際し、評点間距離は250mmとし、引張速度は50mm/minとした。
作製した各電線導体を、軸線方向に垂直に切断し、断面において、芯線および銅被覆層のそれぞれの硬度を測定した。硬度の測定は、マイクロビッカース硬度計を用いて行った。芯線、銅被覆層のそれぞれについて、5か所で測定を行い、平均値を記録した。
作製した電線導体を、長さ104mmに切り出し、圧着端子にて圧着接続して、端子付き導体を得た。圧着端子としては、銅合金製のものを用い、圧着接続に際しては、電線導体の軸線方向に沿って長さ1.6~3.0mmにわたる領域において、電線導体を対向する方向から挟み込んで圧縮した。圧着部としては、導体に対する圧縮度を変化させることで、低圧縮と高圧縮の2とおりの圧着部を形成した。低圧縮の状態は、通常のコネクタ端子と電線導体の間の接続部において採用されるものであり、高圧縮の状態は、通常よりも厳しい条件で電線導体を圧縮している状態に相当する。
図3に、連続軟化による熱処理を経た電線導体について、各種特性(横軸)と、圧着強度(縦軸)との関係を示す。横軸に表示した特性は、上段で電線導体全体の引張強さ、中段でSUS芯線の硬度、下段で銅被覆層の硬度となっている。また、左列に低圧縮の場合、右列に高圧縮の場合を示している。各図では、圧着強度が30Nの水準を、実線で表示している。
ここでは、2層構造の電線導体において、芯線を構成するSUSの伸びが電線導体の特性に与える影響を検証した。
上記の試験[1]では、SUS 304Hよりなる芯線を用いたが、代わりにSUS 304Lよりなる芯線を用いて、同様に電線導体を作製した。連続軟化による熱処理の条件は、SUS 304Hを用いた場合とSUS 304Lを用いた場合で、引張強さがおおむね揃うように、設定した。また、別途、銅被覆層を形成していない状態のSUS 304HおよびSUS 304Lの芯線について、銅被覆層を形成した電線導体と同じ条件で、バッチ式軟化による熱処理を行っておいた。
・引張強さと圧着強度
連続軟化によって熱処理を行った各試料に対して、上記試験[1]と同様の方法で、電線導体の引張強さおよび圧着強度を評価した。
連続軟化およびバッチ式軟化によって熱処理を行った各試料に対して、JIS Z 2241に準拠した引張試験により、破断伸びを評価した。また、合わせて、4端子法によって電気抵抗を測定した。
図4に、芯線にSUS 304Hを用いた場合とSUS 304Lを用いた場合について、電線導体全体の引張強さと圧着強度の関係を示す。また、図中で、各データ点の近傍に、電線導体全体の破断伸びの値を表示する。上図が低圧縮の場合、下図が高圧縮の場合である。図4に示したSUS 304Hについてのデータは、図3に掲載したのと同じものである。
