The present invention aims to provide a terminal fitting which enables the use of existing connectors. A terminal fitting (10) of the present invention includes a terminal connecting portion (11), a wire connecting portion (12), a coupling portion (13) located between the terminal connecting portion (11) and the wire connecting portion (12) to connect the both and having a U-shaped cross section. A heat-shrinkable tube (40) is attached to the wire connecting portion (12). Further, a constricted portion (23) constricted inwardly relative to the terminal connecting portion (11) and the wire connecting portion (12) is provided at the coupling portion (13). The terminal fitting (10) includes a sealing portion (30) adapted to seal the interior of the constricted portion (23) and to have an end part of the tube (40) attached thereto. With this configuration, the terminal fitting (10) of the present invention can reduce external dimensions of the sealing portion (30) by an amount corresponding to the construction of the constricted portion (23). Thus, it is not necessary to make the dimensions of an opening of a cavity larger and an existing connector (60) can be used as it is. |
