Abstract

A weld nugget portion that is obtained by welding a central conductor of a wire and a receiving portion of a metal terminal is formed on the receiving portion that receives an end portion of the wire with the weld nugget portion expanding from a surface of the receiving portion along which the wire is disposed. An area ratio of a blowhole to a section of the weld nugget portion that is along an imaginary cut plane that is perpendicular to the surface of the receiving portion along which the wire is disposed is no less than 0% and no more than 8.4% (i.e., from 0% to 8.4%), preferably no less than 0% and no more than 1.3% (i.e., from 0% to 1.3%). A central axis of the central conductor of the wire in the weld nugget portion extends along the imaginary cut plane.
