Abstract
A pressure contact terminal (10) has a pair of anterior and posterior pressure contact blades (17) formed thereon to define pressure contact grooves (20). A pushing-in member (23) is provided that fits into the terminal and has pressure contact grooves (27) formed on anterior and posterior end faces. The upper ends of the pressure contact grooves (27) have pressing-down members (28) for pressing down an electric wire (1) to a specified extent. After placing an end of the electric wire (1) on the pressure contact blades (17), the pushing-in member (23) is placed thereon and clamped using pliers P. Locking protrusions (31) enter locking holes (32) to retain the pushing-in member (23).
