PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wire harness and a terminal, which can surely break an oxide coating of an aluminum conductive wire by increasing a contact area between a locking portion and the conductive wire.SOLUTION: A terminal 1 is used in which a serration 13 composed of a serration 13b having an inclination of a positive direction with respect to a circumferential direction and a serration 13a having an inclination of a negative direction with respect to the circumferential direction are arranged on an inner peripheral surface 57 of a conductive wire crimping portion 7. A coated conductive wire 23 is inserted into a tubular crimping portion 5 and a conductive wire 25 of the coated conductive wire 23 is arranged in the conductive wire crimping portion 7. Next, the crimping portion 5 is placed on a lower crimping blade die 31, and an upper crimping blade die 33 and the lower crimping blade die 31 pinch the crimping portion 5 and make the crimping portion 5 be deformed into a U-shape to crimp the conductive wire 25. After crimping a contact area between the serration 13 and the conductive wire 25 provided at the conductive wire crimping portion 7a becomes larger in comparison with the case in which the a serration of the circumferential direction is provided. |
