1. A terminal made of a rectangular wire material and extending in a front-rear direction, comprising:
a terminal body;
a pair of first projections provided to project toward both left and right sides from both side surfaces of the terminal body; and
a pair of second projections provided to project toward both left and right sides from the both side surfaces of the terminal body, the pair of second projections being disposed behind the pair of first projections,
wherein:
the pair of second projections are continuously and integrally formed with the pair of first projections,
a maximum projecting dimension of the second projection from the side surface of the terminal body is larger than a maximum projecting dimension of the first projection from the side surface of the terminal body,
the first projection includes an upper first projection located on an upper surface side of the terminal body and a lower first projection located on a lower surface side of the terminal body,
the second projection includes an upper second projection continuously and integrally formed with the upper first projection and a lower second projection continuously and integrally formed with the lower first projection, and
a recess is defined between the upper first projection and the lower first projection and between the upper second projection and the lower second projection.
