ABSTRACT:
In a pressure-contact terminal, a pair of pressure-contact blades are bent in such a manner that they are inclined with respect to their respective side walls of the terminal. A covered electric wire is inserted into between the side walls to thereby allow the pressure-contact blades to bite the covered electric wire. After then, the covered electric wire is pulled backwardly to thereby change the inclination angles of the pressure-contact blades greatly and, while the covered electric wire remains pulled backwardly, a clamping portion formed in the terminal is clamped to thereby fix the covered electric wire. By increasing the inclination angles of the pressure-contact blades, the pressure-contact blades can be contacted with a core included in the covered electric wire with a high contact load.
