Patent attributes
The present invention is to provide a terminal for a flat circuitry. The terminal assuredly crimps a conductor of the flat circuitry and provides an improved electric connection. An electric connection portion of a crimping terminal includes a bottom wall for placing a flat conductor of a FFC and a pair of conductor crimping pieces. The conductor crimping pieces are upstanding at both ends of the bottom wall for crimping the conductor. A plurality of serrations are disposed outside ends of the conductor placed on the bottom wall of the electric connection portion and arranged in series with a distance between the serrations. The conductor crimping pieces start to deform at the serrations, or the best deforming position, for crimping the conductor.
