ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for joining a plurality of lead wires with a corresponding plurality of flat type electric wires. The apparatus comprises a plurality of connector terminals, each having a first caulking portion for securing the round wire to a first end of the connector terminal, and a clasping portion for securing the flat wire to a second end of the connector terminal, the clasping portion comprising a first and second spring portion, a projecting portion projecting from the clasping portion toward the flat wire, and second caulking portion for compressing the flat electric wire between the first and second spring portion by securing the first spring portion to the second spring portion. The projecting portion may receive solder so that the flat type electric wire can be spot welded to the connector terminal. To prevent short circuits between the connector terminals, a comb-like spacer may separate the connector terminals, or the exterior of each connector terminal may be insulated. The connector terminals may be encased in resin or the like to provide further protection from exposure. The resulting connection is extremely compact, reliable, and provides a stable electrical connection over time.
