ABSTRACT:
In a terminal metal fitting assembling structure (10,30), a projecting portion (45) is provided on a plate-like overlap portion (32) which is formed on a second terminal metal fitting (30). In addition, the position of the projecting portion (45) is set outside an area (A) of the overlap portion (32) that is overlapped by a head portion (50A) of a tightening bolt (50). Due to this, when the terminal metal fittings (10,30) are tightened by the tightening bolt (50), a plate-like overlap portion (12) formed in the first terminal metal fitting (10) is flexibly deformed and is pressed by the projecting portion (45) against the plate-like overlap portion (32) of the second terminal metal fitting (30), so that the two terminal metal fittings (10,30) can be strongly contacted with each other by the resilient force generated by the flexibly deformed plate-like overlap portion (12). This makes it possible to increase the contact pressure between the two terminal metal fittings. Still further, since the projecting portion (45) is not tightened directly, even if the two terminal metal fittings are tightened excessively by the tightening bolt, the projecting portion (45) can be prevented from being crushed.
