ABSTRACT:
A terminal assembling structure includes a terminal metal fitting having a tinning layer on a surface thereof, a connecting portion overlapped with the terminal metal fitting, and a fastening member fastening the terminal metal fitting and the connecting portion. An adhesion phenomenon of metal is generated between the terminal metal fitting and the connecting portion by the fastening of the terminal member.
