Abstract
A terminal is crimped to a portion where a plurality of metal strands are welded. A conductive member is configured by a plurality of coated metal wires provided with a plurality of metal strands and with an electrically conductive sheath covering a circumference of each of the plurality of metal strands. The conductive member includes a welded portion, in which at least a portion in an extension direction of the plurality of coated metal wires is welded, and the welded portion includes an outer layer that is formed on an outer circumference side by welding the plurality of coated metal wires together, and at least a portion of the plurality of coated metal wires on an inner side of the outer layer is capable of untwining due to crimping a terminal.
