PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the number of manufacturing processes and enhance the strength of a terminal, by providing the terminal made by press-molding end parts of separate wires entwined with each other. SOLUTION: Multicore conductor wires 1 are cut to a specified length, and they are collected into a bundle. With one end part of the bundle fixed, the multicore conductor wires 1 are brought into a dumpling-like state of shape such that they are disorderly, irregularly, and unevenly entwined with each other by twisting them by a circumferentially rotating brush and an axially rotating brush. A dumpling-like portion thereof is pressed into a provisionally molded part by using a die. A molded part 5 of a specified shape, or a terminal, is obtained by applying a press to the provisionally molded part. The terminal thus obtained exhibits high fastening force or binding force between separate wires and has high strength because it is formed with the wires entwined with each other into an irregular and uneven state of shape. When it is connected to another conductor terminal, for example, by brazing, brazing filler metal wets the two and satisfactory bonding can be achieved, and in the event of screw connection, electrically stable characteristics can be obtained.
