Terminal assembly

Abstract

This provides a structure that facilitates the fastening of multiple terminals together. [Solution] The terminal assembly 9 constitutes a part of an automotive wire harness and comprises a first terminal 1, a second terminal 2, a third terminal 3, and a positioning member 4, which are fixed together with tape. The first terminal 1, second terminal 2, and third terminal 3 each have bolt fastening portions 14, 24, and 34 with bolt fastening holes 15, 25, and 35, and wire connection portions 13, 23, and 33 connected to the electric wire 5. The positioning member 4 holds the wire connection portion 13 of the first terminal 1, the wire connection portion 23 of the second terminal 2, and the wire connection portion 33 of the third terminal 3, and positions these three terminals 1, 2, and 3 so that their bolt fastening holes 15, 25, and 35 overlap in the terminal plate thickness direction.
