A terminal includes a connector portion electrically connectable to an external terminal, a tubular crimp portion formed integrally or separate from the connector portion and crimps with a wire, and a transition portion coupling the two. The tubular crimp portion of a copper or copper alloy metal base material or a metal member having the same is a tubular member closed on transition portion side and reduces in diameter towards the transition portion side such that a conductor-end portion of the electric wire is un-exposed. The tubular crimp portion has a belt-shaped weld portion along a longitudinal direction of the tubular crimp portion. A circumferential direction of the tubular crimp portion matches the RD-direction of the base material. A sum of area ratios R1, R2 and R3 in a rolling plane of the base material, of Cube-, RDW-, and Goss-oriented crystal grains, respectively, is greater than or equal to 15%.
