[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a wire harness PCB terminal and wire harness connection structure includes a wire harness terminal 1, a wire harness body 2, and a PCB board 3. The wire harness terminal 1 includes a wire crimping groove 10 and a plurality of conductor pins 11 for connecting to the PCB board 3. The wire harness body 2 includes conductors 20. The PCB board 3 has PCB solder holes 30 with the same number of conductor pins 11. The conductors 20 are crimped in the wire crimping groove 10, and the conductor pins 11 are inserted into the PCB solder holes 30 and fixed to the PCB board 3 by soldering.

[0026] In this embodiment, the wire harness terminal 1 is made of phosphor bronze material and stamped with a tin layer on the surface. The thickness of the tin layer is 2.5 micrometers. The phosphor bronze substrate and the 1 mm thickness provide mechanical strength, and the tin layer can enhance conductivity and solderability.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conductor 20 is a copper wire, and the part of the conductor 20 that is crimped into the crimping groove 10 is exposed, while the remaining part is covered with an insulating layer 21; the insulating layer 21 only covers the non-crimped area of ​​the conductor 20, and the crimped part remains exposed.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​conductor 20 is 8 square millimeters.

[0029] In this embodiment, the conductor pin 11 is fixed to the PCB soldering hole 30 by wave soldering.

[0032] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: (Refer to Appendix) Figure 5 The wire harness body 2 has two conductors 20, and each conductor 20 needs to be crimped and fixed with a wire harness terminal 1.

[0033] Step ①: Place the exposed portion of conductor 20 into the wire groove 10;

[0034] Step 2: Use an external crimping die to crimp the wire. Under the action of the crimping die, the crimping groove 10 bends and deforms, compressing and clamping the exposed part of the front end of the conductor 20 into the crimping groove 10.

[0035] Steps ③ and ④: After crimping, insert the four conductor pins 11 of one end of the wire harness terminal 1 into the corresponding PCB soldering holes 30 on the PCB board 3. Then, use an external soldering carrier to fix and limit the wire harness terminal 1 with conductors 20. Place the soldering carrier into the wave soldering oven for transfer. At the same time, the wire harness terminal 1 and other components are immersed in molten solder for wave soldering. After the soldering is completed and cooled, they are firmly connected. Afterwards, apply conformal coating around the PCB soldering holes 30 and let it dry. The entire PCB is then completed.
