Abstract

In a terminal-attached electric wire applied to a wire harness, a metal terminal includes: an electric wire connection portion to which the electric wire is connected; a box-shaped portion that is formed into a box shape by a bottom body coupled to the electric wire connection portion and a pair of wall bodies formed by protruding individually from both ends of the bottom body in a width direction, and enables a counterpart terminal to be inserted into a terminal insertion space portion in an inside thereof along an axial direction intersecting the width direction; and a spring contact portion that is located inside the terminal insertion space portion, is elastically deformably supported in the box-shaped portion in a cantilever manner, and forms a contact with the counterpart terminal, and wherein the box-shaped portion has a displacement regulating portion that regulates a relative displacement between the pair of the wall bodies.
