Abstract

A terminal connector and wire connecting method thereof are disclosed. The terminal connector includes a metal electric wire terminal, a metal material with the low melting point and an insulated sleeve. One section of the metal electric wire terminal bends to a C-shaped section with a vertical slot where an electric wire is. Another section of the metal electric wire terminal used to connect an outer terminal. The metal material with the low melting point is embedded the vertical slot of the C-shaped section. The insulated sleeve mounted the C-shaped section and the metal material with the low melting point. Providing an application of heat melts the metal material with the low melting point, the C-shaped section, and the electric wire. At the same time, the insulated sleeve shrinks and wrapped the metal electric wire terminal connector and the electric wire. The connection of the connector assembly and the electric wire is complete.
