Pressure welding terminal

Embodiments of pressure welding terminals are provided including a pair of spring portions and a slit for press-fitting and retaining a conductive body disposed between the pair of spring portions by a fixed push-in amount. An upper edge of the conductive body is retained by the slit at a fixed position from an opening of the slit, and a region is provided where an area of a cross section of at least one of the spring portions on the lower side of the upper edge of the conductive body is smaller than an area of a cross section of the at least one spring portion at a position of the upper edge of the conductive body.
