Abstract: A press-connecting terminal (1) includes a plurality of press-connecting blades (9, 10). A gap between the pair of press-connecting blades (9) is smaller than the diameter of the electric wire (7), and a gap between the pair of press-connecting blades (10) is smaller than a diameter of a conductor (7b) of the electric wire (7). When the electric wire (7) is press-fitted relative to the press-connecting blades (9, 10), an end portion of the electric wire (7) is held by the pair of press-connecting blades (9) while the conductor (7b) is press-connected to the pairs of press-connecting blades (10) in electrically-contacted relation thereof. In so far as a variation in diameter of the electric wire (7) is within a predetermined range, the good press-connecting operation is effected, and the press-connecting terminal (1) has enhanced versatility.
