Abstract

A lead wire connection terminal fitment capable of permitting a plurality of lead wires to be readily press-fitted in a single lead wire press fit groove. The terminal fitment may be in the form of a relay terminal fitment, which includes a metal plate formed with a lead wire press fit groove by machining in which lead wires are press-fitted. A pair of inner surfaces of the metal plate defining the lead wire press fit groove therebetween are formed thereon with a plurality of projections and recesses engaged with an outer periphery of lead wires. The projections biting into the lead wires are so arranged that a space defined between the projections opposite to each other is reduced in width at a position thereof spaced by a distance in a depth direction of the lead wire press fit groove, resulting in being divided into a first space portion increased in width and a second space portion decreased in width.
