COVER FOR TERMINAL METAL FITTING

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cover for terminal metal fitting, which has excellent shape keeping strength and can be manufactured at a low cost. SOLUTION: A cover 11 is formed from a stainless steel sheet through a bending process into a square cylinder and mounted in such a way as enclosing the insertion part 5 of a female side terminal metal fitting 1. The right side plate 15 of this cover 11 is formed protruding up from the surface of a top plate 12 where a lance 20 is cut rising, and the protruding part serves as a stabilizer 17. The stabilizer 17 is formed stepwise retracting inward from the surface of the right side plate 15. A pair of insertion parts 22 are formed at the front and rear extremities of the top plate 12, and the stabilizer 17 is equipped with a pair of fit grooves 23 being cut in from the protruding edge. When bending is made from a spread shape into a square tube, erection is carried out while the insertion part 22 of the top plate 12 is inserted into the grooves 23.
