Abstract
A terminal-equipped electric wire includes a terminal and a coated conductive wire, which are electrically connected to each other. A crimp part of the terminal is a part that crimps the coated conductive wire and includes a conductive wire crimp part crimping a conductive wire exposed from a coating on a tip-end side of the coated conductive wire, and a coating crimp part crimping the coating of the coated conductive wire. The coated conductive wire includes a tension member disposed in an approximate center of a cross section, and a conductive wire including a plurality of conductors disposed on an outer periphery of the tension member. The tension member includes a plurality of strands. The conductive wire is crimped at the conductive wire crimp part from the entire circumference of the circumferential direction of the conductive wire. Preferably, a tensile strength of the tension member is greater than that of the conductive wire.
