Abstract
An electric component unit capable of keeping an operator from feeling a difference in force required for inserting a connection conductor into an electric component unit during insertion of plural connection conductors different in diameter. A terminal fitment includes a conductor holding section provided with four holding elements. Two of the holding elements are so arranged that distal portions thereof are opposite to each other with an end of the connection conductor being interposed therebetween and contacted with the end of the connection conductor. The remaining two of the holding elements are so arranged that distal portions thereof are positioned forwardly or rearwardly in a longitudinal direction of the connection conductor based on a position at which the two holding elements are contacted with the end of the connection conductor while being contacted with the end of the connection conductor and interposing the end of the connection conductor therebetween.
