Terminals for a low-cost connector apparatus, and the connector apparatus using the terminals, are provided. Each of the connection portions of the terminals for connecting wiring materials is formed by cutting an electrically conductive pipe material into a specific length and then crimping flat one end thereof. The uncrimped end retains its cylindrical shape, and is formed into a fit-engagement portion into which another terminal is inserted to make current conduction possible. The connector apparatus comprises a first base member having a main portion and a stepped portion, a side wall of the main portion being substantially perpendicular to a top surface of the stepped portion. A second base member, matable with the said first base member, is also provided. Burial holes are provided in the first base member near the stepped portion, and the inventive terminals are disposed therein. Opening portions are disposed in the side wall of the main portion near the burial holes, to allow the terminals to be inserted. Slits are disposed adjacent the burial holes between the burial holes and the opening portions. Stoppers are insertable into the slits. When inserted, the stoppers fix the terminals in the burial holes and close the opening portions.
