TERMINAL AND TERMINAL MANUFACTURING METHOD

To provide a terminal and the like that can sufficiently reduce the electrical resistance between wires.SOLUTION: A terminal 10 includes a mating connection portion 11, a tubular portion 20 which is fixed to the mating connection portion 11 and into which one end side of an electric wire W in which a core wire 1 composed of a large number of strands is exposed to the outside is inserted, a needle-shaped rod 30 that is fixed to the mating connection portion 11 and protrudes into the tubular portion 20, and a crimping portion 25 provided on the tubular portion 20 and crimped and deformed in the direction of pressing the core wire 1 against the outer peripheral surface of the needle-shaped rod 30.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 【課題】電線との間における電気抵抗を十分に低減できる端子等を提供する。【解決手段】端子１０は、相手接続部１１と、相手接続部１１に固定され、多数の素線からなる芯線１が外部に露出された電線Ｗの一端側が挿入された筒部２０と、相手接続部１１に固定され、筒部２０内に突出する針状棒３０と、筒部２０に設けられ、芯線１を針状棒３０の外周面に押圧する方向に加締め変形された加締め部２５とを備えている。【選択図】図２
