Abstract: A wire connecting device for connecting a fiber-core conductor configured by stranding a plurality of fiber-core conductive wires. The wire connecting device includes a vis having a rod-shape pin and a head extending outwardly from the pin. A plate-shape terminal connects with the vis by inserting the pin in an opening.
