TERMINAL

Provided is a terminal which does not require a large amount of applied load at the time of pressing-in of an electrical wire and reduces plastic deformation that occurs by pressing-in of the electrical wire, thus allowing improvement in repairability at the time when the electrical wire is pulled out of an insertion groove and reinserted thereinto to be used. Accordingly, in a terminal (11) in which an insertion groove (13) for pressing a conductor (6) thereinto is provided between a pair of conductive arm parts (14), when t represents a distance from the center (13b) of a contact part (13c) between the conductive arm part (14) and the conductor (6) to the ends (26) of the conductive arm parts (14) at the time of pressing-in of the conductor (6); h represents a width of the conductive arm part (14) at the end (26) thereof; and Y represents a width between the insertion groove (13) and the outer edge (14a) of the conductive arm part (14), the following relation holds: at a point of 1 / 2 × t , Y = h / ˆš ¢ 2 × 0.8 to 1.2 .
