Abstract
A terminal fitting (T) has a pair of crimping pieces ( A, B) that extend up from opposite side edges of a bottom wall ( ), and are crimped into connection with a wire (W) placed on the bottom wall ( ). The crimping pieces ( A, B) are offset to each other in the longitudinal direction of the wire (W). Restricting portions ( A, B) are formed on the bottom wall ( ) and restrict a lateral displacement of the wire (W) against pushing forces acting on the wire (W) from the crimping pieces ( A, B) in directions normal to the longitudinal direction of the wire (W) while the crimping pieces ( A, B) are being crimped into connection with the wire (W).
