Abstract

An electric-wire connecting structure for press-connecting an electric wire to press-connecting blades of a press-connecting terminal. In such a structure, the electric wire press-connected to the press-connecting blades of the press-connecting terminal is bent toward a fitting mount such as a connector housing with the press-connecting blades as boundaries. The fitting mount fitted with the press-connecting terminal is provided with electric-wire holding members for holding the bent electric wire, whereby a conductor of the electric wire is kept in contact with the press-connecting blades of the press-connecting terminal while tension is being applied to the press-connecting blades.
