Abstract

A terminal connecting-and-fixing structure capable of ensuring the connection between the terminal and the bus bar even in the case of loose of the bolt and suppressing increase in the contact resistance, thereby preventing poorness of the conduction, is provided. A terminal connecting-and-fixing structure comprises a bus bar 10 having a plate-like shape, a bolt 30 penetrating the bus bar 10, and a nut 40 tightened by the bolt 30, and a terminal 20 mounted on the bolt 30, wherein the terminal 20 and the bus bar 10 is connected and fixed by fastening the nut 40 to the bolt 30, and wherein the bus bar 10 has a concave portion 12, and the terminal 20 and the bus bar 10 is connected and fixed by fastening the nut 40 to the bolt 30 while an end portion of the terminal 20 is press-fitted in the concave portion 12.
