ABSTRACT:
A press-connecting terminal includes a bottom plate, a pair of side plates which are extended upwardly in the same direction from opposite sides of the bottom plate, and a pair of press-contact blades which are extended from the pair of side plates and are opposed to each other in such a manner that they are located above the bottom plate. In the press-connecting terminal, an end portion of a covered wire is press-fitted in between the press-contact blades so that a conductor of the covered wire is electrically connected to the press-contact blades. The press-connecting terminal further includes a wire accommodating section (e.g., a hole (17) or an arcuate recess (23)) which is formed in the bottom plate such that the wire accommodating section is located below the press-contact blades. In the press-connecting terminal, the covered wire is press-fitted in between the press-contact blades, and a part of a cover of the covered wire on the bottom plate side is set in the wire accommodating section. This increases the holding force of the press-contact blades on the conductor.
