Abstract (en)

An electric wire with terminal (1) includes an electric wire (2) including a conductor (3) and an insulating layer (4) covering the conductor (3), and a terminal (5) including a hollow portion (7) into which the conductor (3) exposed at an end portion of the electric wire (2) is inserted. The terminal (5) is connected to the conductor (3) by compressing the hollow portion (7) with the conductor (3) being inserted into the hollow portion (7). A tensile strength of a material used for the conductor (3) is greater than a tensile strength of a material used for the terminal (5). The terminal (5) includes at least three compressed portions (10) in a longitudinal direction of the conductor (3). When a cross-sectional area of the conductor (3) is S (mm<sup>2</sup>), a compression width which is a length in the longitudinal direction of the compressed portion (10) is W (mm), and a compression interval which is a length in the longitudinal direction of a non-compressed portion (11) located between adjacent compressed portions (10) is L (mm), the compression width W and the compression interval L, respectively, satisfy formulas (1) and (2): 0.01×S+2.5≤W≤0.07×S+3.5 and −1.0≤L≤0.145×S+3.75
