Abstract
A terminal-equipped electric wire includes a terminal to be electrically connected to a connection target member, and an electric wire to be connected to the terminal by ultrasonic joining. The terminal includes a joint portion to be connected to the electric wire, a connection portion to be connected to the connection target member, and a plating layer on a surface of the terminal. The connection portion has an uneven shape on at least a part of a surface thereof. When the terminal-equipped electric wire is connected to the connection target member, an insulating coating of the plating layer covering at least a part of the surface of the connection portion is broken.
