A terminal fitting

摘要

An object of the present invention is to prevent a sealing member from being cracked. <??>A female terminal fitting 20 is provided with a pair of fastening pieces 26 extending from the opposite side edges of a bottom plate 24, and the fastening pieces 26 are bent inward toward each other, thereby wrapping round the outer circumferential surface of a sealing member 30 fitted on a wire 10 to fasten the sealing member 30 together with the wire 10. Sealing-member protecting portions 27 at obtuse angles to contact surfaces 29 are formed over the entire side edges of the inner surfaces of the fastening pieces 26. Therefore, the bite in the sealing member 30 can be hindered over a wide range. <IMAGE>
