Abstract
A cramping terminal fitting is provided to maintain a satisfactory contact state with a wire without applying plating again after shaping the terminal fitting by a press. The terminal fitting includes insulation displacement contact (IDC) portions ( ) into which a wire can be pushed. Each IDC portion ( ) is comprised of a contact portion ( ) formed by embossing side walls ( ) in such a manner as to have a triangular cross section, and cutting blades ( ) formed by bending long pieces ( ) and short pieces ( ) to have a triangular cross section. Further, guide portions ( ) for guiding the wire to the IDC portions ( ) are provided above the cutting blades ( ). Since the contact portions ( ) remain plated, a contact state with the wire can be satisfactorily maintained.
