A terminal fitting includes a fastening portion and a wire connection portion. The fastening portion is formed with an installation insertion hole through which a fixing member is inserted. The wire connection portion extends from a peripheral edge portion of the fastening portion. A notch is provided in the fastening portion so as to extend along the peripheral edge of an opening of the installation insertion hole and between the installation insertion hole and the wire connection portion. A through hole or a thin recessed portion is formed on the notch at an intersection portion between the notch and an axis in an extending direction of the wire connection portion.

Terminal fitting with a plurality of wire connection portions

A connection method for a terminal fitting, in which the terminal fitting includes a terminal body and a plurality of terminal connection portions extending from the terminal body, and a pair of fastening caulking pieces of each of connection terminals connected to end portions of electric wires are caulked and connected to a pair of fastened caulking pieces formed in a corresponding one of the terminal connection portions, the connection method includes folding open end portions of the fastened caulking pieces inward respectively to form folded portions and a space between the folded portions so that open end portions of the pair of fastening caulking portions enter the space, and crushing the pair of the fastening caulking pieces to caulk the pair of the fastened caulking pieces so that the open end portions of the pair of the fastening caulking pieces enter the space.

Connection method for terminal fitting and connection structure of terminal fitting

A connection structure of a terminal fitting includes the terminal fitting including a terminal body, and a plurality of terminal connection portions extending from the terminal body and connection terminals connected to end portions of electric wires. Each of the connection terminals includes a pair of fastening caulking pieces which erects on opposite side portions of a terminal bottom portion. The pair of the fastening caulking pieces are caulked with opposite side portions of a corresponding one of the terminal connection portions from outside so that the connection terminal is caulked and fastened to the terminal fitting. Concave-convex engagement portions are provided in opposed surfaces in which the terminal connection portion and the terminal bottom portion abut against each other. The terminal fitting is connected to the electric wires through the connection terminals.

Connection structure and connection method for terminal fitting

A terminal fitting includes a terminal body and a plurality of terminal connection sections. A connection terminal is connected to an electric wire. The connection terminal has a holding space defined by a pair of fastening caulking pieces provided on both side sections of the connection terminal and upper end sections of the pair of fastening caulking pieces which are folded back inwardly. A pair of caulked pieces is provided so as to stand upright on both side sections of the terminal connection section and is configured to be accommodated in the holding space. A provisional engaging mechanism that is detachably engaged with the pair of fastening caulking pieces when the pair of caulked pieces is accommodated in the holding space and is provided between the pair of caulked pieces and the pair of fastening caulking pieces.
