Claim:
A terminal fitting to be connected to a wire by crimping and being removably carried on a carrier, comprising: a crimping portion to be crimped into connection with an end portion of a wire, the crimping portion having a bottom wall and front and rear crimping pieces extending from opposite sides of the bottom wall and being displaced from one another in forward and backward directions; and an escaping portion formed by cutting off part of a rear end of the rear crimping piece at a position substantially adjacent the bottom wall so that portions of the rear crimping piece spaced from the bottom wall project farther rearward than portions of the rear crimping piece at the escaping portion, whereby the escaping portion enables a cutting mold for cutting a link that couples the crimping portion to the carrier to be arranged at a position where a front end of the cutting mold is before the rear end of the crimping portion.
