A welding portion () where the cores () are welded to the bottom wall () is formed at a front part of the terminal main body (). A crimping portion () is formed at a rear part of the terminal main body () and has crimping pieces () projecting from upper ends of the side walls () for crimped connection to the wires (). Cutouts (AF,AR) are cut into the upper end of the side wall () of the crimping portion () at front and rear sides of the front crimping piece (F) while retaining parts of the side wall (L) below the cutouts (AF,AR).
