Abstract
A cramping terminal is provided to have a strong groove portion and an electrical connection with an improved reliability. The cramping terminal 20 has a side cramping blade 29 provided in a groove portion 25. The side cramping blade 29 is formed by bending projections 40 that define the side cramping blade 29 in different directions. Accordingly, holes 42 formed by the projections 40 are left in one side wall 27 more toward one end of the groove portion 25 than the side cramping blade 29 and in the other side wall more toward the other end of the groove portion 25 than the side cramping blade 29. Therefore, the side walls 27 remain opposite to the hole 42, enhancing the strength of the groove portion 25.
