Wire connecting method and terminal

Abstract

A method of connecting a wire with a terminal including a plurality of conductors is provided. The method includes: positioning the terminal by holding a part of the terminal between an upper side jig and a lower side jig; and connecting the wire and one of a plurality of conductors, which is exposed on a surface of the positioned terminal. The terminal includes a laminate structure that includes an insulator interposed between a first conductor and a second conductor. The part of the terminal held in the positioning of the terminal includes a pressure receiving area, where a contact area between the upper side jig and an upper surface of the terminal and a contact area between the lower side jig and a lower surface of the terminal overlap. The laminate structure exists outside of the pressure receiving area, and does not exist in the pressure receiving area.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A terminal having comprising:
 an upper surface;   a lower surface;   a plurality of conductors;   an insulator; and   a laminate structure that arranges the insulator between a first conductor and a second conductor,   wherein   in a plan view of one of the upper and lower surfaces, an existing area where the laminate structure exists and a non-existing area where the laminate structure does not exist, are present together.   
     
     
         2 . The terminal according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface in the non-existing area is longer than a distance between the upper surface and the lower surface in the existing area.
