1. A terminal-equipped electric wire in which a coated conductive wire and a terminal are electrically connected with each other, the terminal-equipped electric wire comprising:
a conductive wire crimp part at which a conductive wire exposed from a coating at a tip end of the coated conductive wire is crimped; and
a coating crimp part at which the coating of the coated conductive wire is crimped, wherein
the conductive wire crimp part includes an electric wire holding part for holding the conductive wire and a conductive part for achieving conduction with the conductive wire,
the conductive part is formed on a rear-end side of the conductive wire crimp part,
a compression rate at the electric wire holding part is different from a compression rate at the conductive part,
the compression rate at the electric wire holding part is smaller than the compression rate at the conductive part, and
the compression rate at the coating crimp part is smaller than the compression rate at the conductive part.
