Abstract
A terminal connection unit has a novel structure that enables advantageously absorbing tolerance between positions of a terminal fitting and a connection portion while also ensuring a good state of connection between the terminal fitting and the connection portion. A terminal connection unit includes: a current-carrying member that has a connection portion for connection to a terminal fitting provided at the terminal end of an electric wire; and a support portion that fixedly supports the current-carrying member. The current-carrying member includes a fixing portion that is fixed to the support portion, and an extendable portion that couples the connection portion and the fixing portion to each other and can extend and contract in the first direction. The support portion includes an attachment portion that is attached to the connection portion and is displaceable in a first direction.
