Abstract A press-connecting terminal including a contact portion provided on one side of a bottom wall so as to be connected to a partner terminal, a caulking portion provided on the other side of the bottom wall for caulking an electric wire, and a press-connecting portion provided between the contact portion and the caulking portion so that an end of the electric wire is press-connected to the press-connecting portion. The press-connecting portion is formed into a frame constituted by a pair of press-connecting blades and a pair of side walls for connecting respective ends of the press-connecting blades to each other through the side walls, each of the press-connecting blades being constituted by an inner press-connecting blade portion and an outer press-connecting blade portion which are put on top of each other, one of the side walls being constituted by a single continuous wall portion, the other of the side walls being constituted by a plurality of wall portions engaged with each other at an intermediate portion of the other side wall to thereby improve the strength of the press-connecting portion.
A press-connecting terminal comprising: a bottom wall; a contact portion provided on one side of said bottom wall so as to be connected to a partner terminal; and a press-connecting portion provided on the other side of said bottom wall so that an end of an electric wire is press-connected to said press-connecting portion, said press-connecting portion being formed into a frame comprising a pair of press-connecting blades and a pair of side walls for connecting respective ends of said press-connecting blades to each other through said side walls, each of said press-connecting blades being constituted by an inner press-connecting blade portion and an outer press-connecting blade portion which are put on top of each other, one of said side walls being constituted by a single continuous wall portion, and the other of said side walls being constituted by a plurality of wall portions engaged with each other at an intermediate portion of said other side wall.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The press-connecting terminal according to claim 1, wherein lower portions of said outer press-connecting blade portions of said press-connecting blades are elongated toward a side of said contact portion and toward the opposite side thereto respectively so as to be put on said bottom wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
96 words
The press-connecting terminal according to claim 1, wherein a width of each of said outer press-connecting blade portions of said press-connecting blades is made equal to a width of said bottom wall, wherein said inner press-connecting blade portions of said press-connecting blades and said pair of side walls are formed by bending a single sheet in a state in which said inner press-connecting blade portions and said pair of side walls are connected to each other, and wherein said pair of side walls are bent with a width smaller than the width of said bottom wall.
