Method for manufacturing terminal member, method for connecting terminal member and conductive member, terminal member, and wiring member

A method is provided for manufacturing a terminal member that is electrical conductive with a conductive member. The terminal member is formed by working a workpiece having a plate shape with a first surface and a second surface extending from one end toward the other end, by cutting out a recessed portion at the one end from the first surface to the second surface. In this method, the recessed portion is supported by being abutted against a supporting member, and a portion spaced from the recessed portion toward the other end side is fixed, and both side portions along the one end from the recessed portion are bent while being pressed from the first surface toward the second surface side, thereby forming, as a pair of conductive surfaces for conduction with the conductive member, second surface portions facing each other with the supporting member interposed therebetween.
