ABSTRACT:
To provide a connection terminal which can be mounted with an improved operation efficiency, and has sufficient retaining force and strength, a front end portion of a connection terminal is constituted by side plate portions formed by substantially perpendicularly bending opposite side portions of a developed material along a longitudinal direction which developed material is stamped by a die from an electrically-conductive metal plate having spring properties, and resilient contact piece portions formed respectively by inwardly bending front end portions of these side plate portions. A retaining hole for receiving an elastic lance provided in a terminal receiving chamber of a connector is formed through a base plate portion disposed between the opposite side plate portions. A conductor clamping portion and a wire sheath clamping portion, which serve to compressively clamp a connection wire W, are formed at a rear end portion of the connection terminal, the clamping portion as well as the clamping portion being formed by bending extension pieces, extending respectively from the opposite sides of the base plate portion, into a semi-cylindrical shape. Upper end portions of the side plate portions prevent the connection terminal from being erroneously inserted upside down into the terminal receiving chamber of the connector.
