Abstract
Two or more core wires are inserted into an approximately U-shaped barrel of a terminal and fixed to the terminal and each other. The terminal comprises a tab having serrations, formed on the upper and lower surfaces thereof, disposed along the boundary between the core wires so that the serrations shear an oxide film formed on the core wires in contact with the upper and lower surfaces of the tab and remove the oxide film from the core wires, whereby the core wires are electrically connected with each other via the tab. The tab is integral with or separate from a connector terminal or an inter-connecting terminal.
