The slider includes a pressing portion that presses the holding section toward the electric wire when the slider is at the second position. The slider includes a pressure receiving portion that is pushed from a rear side to move the slider from the first position to the second position. The slider includes a support portion that receives a force applied to the pressure receiving portion that is pushed.

Abstract: A terminal includes a terminal body and a slider. The terminal body is formed by processing a metal sheet. The terminal body is coupled to a front end of an electric wire with respect to an extending direction in which the electric wire extends. The terminal body holds the electric wire. The slider is slidable in the extending direction relative to the terminal body. The terminal body includes connecting tabs that includes contact surfaces contactable with the electric wire. Each of the connecting tabs has a cantilever shape. The slider includes pressing portions that press the connecting tabs so that the connecting tabs deform and the contact surfaces contact the electric wire when the slider is slid. The connecting tabs include burrs that are produced during processing of the metal sheet. The burrs protrude from the contact surfaces toward the electric wire.

The adhering portion has an area of 0.100 mm2 or more.

Abstract: A terminal coupled to an electric wire includes a terminal body and a shell. The shell includes a tubular portion and pressing portions 25A and 25B that protrudes from an inner wall of the tubular portion. The tubular portion includes a bottom wall, a first sidewall that projects upward from a first side edge of the bottom wall, a second sidewall that projects upward from a second side edge of the bottom wall, a ceiling that extends from the first sidewall to the second sidewall and is opposite the bottom wall, and a restricting portion that extends from the second sidewall to the first sidewall and overlaps an outer surface of the ceiling.

Abstract: A terminal that is to be coupled to a mate terminal. The terminal includes a tubular portion and a spring tab. The mate terminal is to be inserted in the tubular portion and the spring tab is within the tubular portion, and includes a spring-side wall, connection wall, a first side wall that is continuous from the connection wall and the spring-side wall, a second side wall that is continuous from the spring-side wall, and an opening limiter portion. The spring tab presses the mate terminal, which is inserted in the tubular portion, from the spring-side wall toward the connection wall. The tubular portion includes a connection portion that connects the spring tab and connection wall. The tubular portion includes the opening limiter portion that contacts the connection portion from an opposite direction from a pressing direction, in which the spring tab presses the mate terminal, toward the connection wall.

The terminal includes a grip portion that pinches the conductor. The shell includes a pressing portion that presses at least a portion of the grip portion toward the conductor. The maximum pulling load is 20 N or more when the terminal is fixed and the electric wire is pulled at a pulling speed of 50 mm/minute.

Abstract: A female terminal includes a terminal body and a slider displaced relative to the terminal body. The terminal body includes a connecting tab deformable in a pressing direction crossing an inserting direction in which an electric wire is inserted and contactable with the electric wire. The slider is slidable between separated and overlapping positions. The slider includes a narrow portion that protrudes inward and has a less inner dimension in the pressing direction, and a wide portion in front of the narrow portion with respect to the inserting direction and has a greater inner dimension in the pressing direction than the narrow portion. The connecting tab contacts the electric wire when the narrow portion overlaps the connecting tab at the overlapping position. The slider includes a sloped guide surface that is angled at in front of the wide portion to spread further than the wide portion toward the front.
