Abstract
A forming electrode unit for forming the conductors of the electric wire into the terminal includes a female pressing electrode having an electric wire housing groove, and a male pressing electrode having an electric wire pressing portion which is fitted in the groove in such a manner that a clearance is defined between the pressing portion and the female pressing electrode. To form the conductors together into the terminal, the conductors are set in the groove, and thereafter pressed by the pressing portion as an electrical current is caused to flow through the electrodes and the conductors to heat the conductors. The electric wire is thus integrally provided with the solidly formed terminal.
