1. A terminal connected to a front end part in an extending direction of a wire, comprising:
a terminal body including a sandwiching portion configured to sandwich the wire; and
a slide portion slidable along the extending direction of the wire with respect to the terminal body,
wherein:
the slide portion includes a pressurizing portion configured to pressurize the sandwiching portion toward the wire,
the terminal body is formed by a metal plate material in a bent state,
the sandwiching portion includes a holding protrusion projecting toward the wire to contact the wire,
the holding protrusion is formed by folding a tip portion of the sandwiching portion and overlapping the tip portion on an overlapping portion of the sandwiching portion,
a first facing surface of the overlapping portion and a second facing surface of the tip portion face each other and are overlapped,
a first fitting portion extending in a perpendicular direction to the extending direction of the wire that is a front-rear direction of the terminal body and having an elongated shape is provided on the first facing surface, a second fitting portion extending in the perpendicular direction to the extending direction of the wire and having the elongated shape is provided on the second facing surface, and the first and second fitting portions are concavo-convexly fit from each other,
the pressurizing portion includes an upper pressurizing portion and a lower pressurizing portion arranged in parallel and extending in a front-rear direction of the slide portion, and
an edge formed on a front end of the tip portion is located between the upper pressurizing portion and the lower pressurizing portion.
