Abstract
Chained terminals ( ) are formed such that a multitude of terminal fitting pieces ( ) are connected in parallel with a lateral edge of a carrier ( ) in the form of a long strip, and are wound around and dispensed from a reel ( ) with an interlayer sheet ( ) laid underneath. Each terminal fitting piece ( ) is formed with projections ( ) projecting in a direction normal to a radial direction of the reel ( ), i.e. a direction along the plane of the interlayer sheet ( ). Thus, the projections ( ) neither stick into the interlayer sheet ( ) nor are deformed by being caught in by the interlayer sheet ( ). Protecting portions ( ) are aligned with the projections ( ) but extend further from the carrier ( ) for protecting the projections ( ).
