An electrical terminal comprising: a first member comprising a pair of connecting face portions facing each other to have a substantially V shape in which a gap between inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other tapers from a wider-gap side to a narrower-gap side, and a coupling portion for coupling the pair of connecting face portions at ends of the narrower-gap side of the inner faces facing each other; and a second member formed to have a substantially U shape, wherein the pair of connecting face portions is arranged to receive a wire from the wider-gap side of the inner faces facing each other, and hold the wire between the inner faces facing each other, each of the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions is provided with a plurality of serrations (11b, 11c), and the second member is arranged to displace inward both outer side faces of the pair of connecting face portions to make the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other closer to each other, and the plurality of serrations (11b, 11c) bite into the wire to connect the wire with the pair of connecting face portions, characterized in that the serrations (11b, 11c) extend in directions intersecting with a direction in which an axial line of the received wire extends; the second member is arranged to be mated with the pair of connecting face portions from the wider-gap side of the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other so as to displace inward both outer side faces of the pair of connecting face portions; and the second member and the coupling portion of the first member are coupled by a coupling member. a first member comprising a pair of connecting face portions facing each other to have a substantially V shape in which a gap between inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other tapers from a wider-gap side to a narrower-gap side, and a coupling portion for coupling the pair of connecting face portions at ends of the narrower-gap side of the inner faces facing each other; and a second member formed to have a substantially U shape, wherein the pair of connecting face portions is arranged to receive a wire from the wider-gap side of the inner faces facing each other, and hold the wire between the inner faces facing each other, each of the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions is provided with a plurality of serrations (11b, 11c), and the second member is arranged to displace inward both outer side faces of the pair of connecting face portions to make the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other closer to each other, and the plurality of serrations (11b, 11c) bite into the wire to connect the wire with the pair of connecting face portions, characterized in that the serrations (11b, 11c) extend in directions intersecting with a direction in which an axial line of the received wire extends; the second member is arranged to be mated with the pair of connecting face portions from the wider-gap side of the inner faces of the pair of connecting face portions facing each other so as to displace inward both outer side faces of the pair of connecting face portions; and the second member and the coupling portion of the first member are coupled by a coupling member.
