Abstract
A metal terminal includes a base plate portion for placing an electric wire thereon and a pair of crimping piece portions which extend upwardly respectively from opposite side edges of the base plate portion for press-contacting the electric wire. Each of the crimping piece portions has a distal end portion and a body portion such that a thickness of the each of crimping piece portions is tapered toward a distal end surface of the distal end portion from the body portion. A thickness of a distal end of the distal end portion relative to a board thickness T of the body portion of the each of crimping piece portions is not smaller than ⅕T and is less than ½T. An exterior angle of an angle formed by the distal end surface of the distal end portion and a tapered surface of the distal end portion is 60° to 30°.
