Claim Text:
1. A connection terminal, comprising: a wire comprising a conductor and an insulation sheath covering the conductor, one end side of the conductor exposed from the insulation sheath; a terminal connection portion to be connected with a mating terminal; a wire connection portion comprising a pair of crimping pieces each comprising a conductor crimping portion and a sheath crimping portion integrally connected to the conductor crimping portion, the conductor crimping portion crimped to the exposed conductor, the sheath crimping portions arranged on a surface of the insulation sheath where distal edges of the respective sheath crimping portions face and come into contact with each other; an anticorrosion material provided to cover the exposed conductor and insulation sheath exposed on an outside of the wire connection portion, and cover a gap provided in a portion where the distal edges of the respective sheath crimping portions face and come into contact with each other, and an anticorrosion material holding portion provided in the portion where the distal edges of the respective sheath crimping portion face and come into contact with each other, wherein the sheath crimping portion includes a taper portion formed in a tapered shape connected to the conductor crimping portion, wherein a width of the anticorrosion material holding portion gradually narrows in the taper portion along a terminal longitudinal direction from a rear side to a front side, wherein the anticorrosion material holding portion holds and stores the anticorrosion material in the molten state to prevent the anticorrosion material from flowing out.
