Terminal hardware for a flat-type conductor is provided which can provide a high contact pressure between the terminal hardware and the conductor and a superior holding power against a tension tending to separate the terminal hardware from the conductor. At a terminal end of the flat-type conductor, the conductor is exposed on an upper surface. A base plate is formed to extend from a rear end of the terminal hardware, and a top plate is provided so as to face the base plate and be capable of being opened and closed. A pair of crimping portions are provided at opposite side edges of a rear end of the base plate. Further, both the base plate and the top plate have undulating portions, respectively. The terminal end of the flat-type conductor is inserted between the base plate and the top plate. The pair of crimping portions pierces the insulation sheet of the flat-type conductor from one side toward the other. Then, the terminal end of the flat-type conductor is sandwiched between the base plate and the top plate from both of the upper and lower surfaces, and is compressed. At the same time, the pair of the crimping portions is crimped. Accordingly, a portion of the flat-type conductor where the conductor is provided is bent and sandwiched between the base plate and the top plate contacts the conductor.
