<p>PURPOSE: To obtain the same continuous electrical connection as that obtained when an electric wire is continuously laid by connecting the cut pieces to each other with a connecting terminal in an electrical connection box even when the electric wire is cut into pieces at prescribed points. CONSTITUTION: In case an electric wire W to be laid in an electrical connection box is so hard that the wire W cannot be bent when it is required to bend the wire W at a right angle, the wire W is cut into three pieces along cutting lines L at both ends of the bent section C and the cut ends of the pieces are connected to a connecting terminal 10. The terminal 10 is made of a conductive metallic plate and is provided with a connecting section 11 composed of an L-shaped flat plate section bent at right angles in the horizontal direction and slots 12 and 13 protruded downward from both edges of the connecting section 11. The slots 12 and 13 are provided with cutting edges 12a and 13a which come into contact with the core 15 of the wire W after cutting the insulating coating 14 of the wire W. Therefore, such a problem that an electric wire is not able to be bent at a desired angle can be eliminated.</p> |
