Abstract: A terminal connection structure includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a terminal guide. The first terminal includes a held portion. The second terminal includes a plate-shaped base portion, a pair of holding portions projecting from one end of the base portion to hold the held portion from both sides, and a plate-shaped bridge portion projecting from the other end of the base portion in a direction crossing relative to the base portion. The terminal guide includes a guide hole having one end at which the first terminal is disposed, and the other end from which the second terminal is inserted.
