Abstract
There are provided a terminal connection structure and a method of producing the same, in which a terminal is positively and firmly press-connected to end portions or intermediate portions of electric wires, and the connection portion is rendered waterproof. Conductors of a plurality of electric wires are press-connected together by pressing pieces of a terminal through an organic seal material, and the conductors, as well as sheaths of the wires, are clamped together by the pressing pieces of the terminal, and each of the pressing pieces is pressed deeper at that portion thereof disposed on the conductors than at those portions thereof disposed on and adjacent to the sheaths, so that the organic seal material is filled in the conductors, in between the terminal and the conductors, and in between the terminal and the sheaths.
