Abstract
In the connection between a terminal of an electric automobile and a covered wire, a rubber plug fitted on the wire and disposed between the terminal and the wire is properly positioned, thereby not only enhancing the efficiency of the assembling operation but also reducing damage to the rubber plug. The rubber plug has at its inner peripheral surface a retaining step against which an end surface of an insulative sheath of a covered wire abuts. A terminal has a wire connection portion defined by one end portion thereof, and an engagement hole is formed in this wire connection portion. An abutment shoulder against which a front end 10c of the rubber plug is adapted to abut is formed at the engagement hole. Conductors of the covered wire and the front end portion of the rubber plug are inserted into the engagement hole, and then are compressed from the outer side.
