An insulation-displacement terminal fitting and production method therefor

摘要

To prevent an occurrence of a crack and/or split in blade portions when the blade portions are formed by bending side walls of an insulation-displacement terminal fitting in V-shape. ÄSolutionÜ Slits 15 having an area corresponding at least to a forming range of blade portions 11B are formed along boundaries between a bottom wall 13 and side walls 11A, and a bent portion 16 is formed in a forming area of the slits in the bottom wall 13. When the blade portions 11B are formed by bending the side walls 11A, the bent portion 16 is simultaneously formed in the bottom wall 13. At this time, neither the blade portions 11B nor the side walls 11A undergo an extensional deformation since base ends 11Ba of the blade portions 11B are brought closer to each other in the side walls 11a and base ends 16a of the bent portion 16 are brought closer to each other in the bottom wall 13. <IMAGE>
