A press-connecting terminal including a contact portion provided on one side of a bottom wall so as to be connected to a partner terminal, a caulking portion provided on the other side of the bottom wall for caulking an electric wire, and a press-connecting portion provided between the contact portion and the caulking portion so that an end of the electric wire is press-connected to the press-connecting portion. The press-connecting portion is formed into a frame constituted by a pair of press-connecting blades and a pair of side walls for connecting respective ends of the press-connecting blades to each other through the side walls, each of the press-connecting blades being constituted by an inner press-connecting blade portion and an outer press-connecting blade portion which are put on top of each other, one of the side walls being constituted by a single continuous wall portion, the other of the side walls being constituted by a plurality of wall portions engaged with each other at an intermediate portion of the other side wall to thereby improve the strength of the press-connecting portion.
