Abstract
Provided is a terminal-attached electric wire including: an electric wire having a conductor made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy whose outer circumference is covered with an insulating layer; and a terminal member made of copper or a copper alloy and attached to a conductor-exposed portion exposed from the insulating layer at an end portion of the electric wire. The terminal member includes a coating layer made of an electrically conductive material and formed at a terminal-exposed portion except for a place of contact with the conductor in a surface of the terminal member, and an oxide film of the electrically conductive material formed in a surface of the coating layer. The electrically conductive material is a metal or an alloy which forms an oxide film having a thickness of more than or equal to 20 nm in a surface thereof.
