Abstract
A terminal fitting (20) is crimped to an aluminum wire including a core (12) formed by putting a plurality of strands (11) together. The terminal fitting (20) includes a bottom plate (22) on which the core (12) is placed, and two barrel pieces (25L, 25R) connected to the bottom plate (22) and crimped to the core (12) so as to embrace the core (12) placed on the bottom plate (22). Overlapping portions (24L, 24R) are formed on tip parts of the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) by folding a plate material forming the barrel pieces (25L, 25R) to overlap layers of the plate material. The overlapping portions (24L, 24R) contact each other without intruding between the strands (11) when the respective barrel pieces (25L, 25R) are crimped to the core (12). The terminal fitting (20) eliminates breakage of the core (12) and is less affected by spring back.
