Terminal and crimping method
 A terminal is provided for secure electrical connection to a shielded cable. The outer conductor 52 of the cable 50 is exposed and folded onto the sheath. A folded portion 55 is placed on a bottom portion 48 of the terminal while a bottom projection 61 at the bottom portion 48 of an outer terminal 40 bites into the folded portion. A crimping piece 46 of the outer terminal 40 is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the folded portion 55 and an upper projection 62 on the crimping piece 46 bites into a sheath 54 of the folded portion 55. A crimping piece 47 is brought into close contact with the outer surface of the folded portion 55 and the end thereof is placed on that of the crimping piece 46. The outer crimping portion 45 squeezes the sheath 54 and is crimped while being held in close contact with the sheath 54 beneath the folded portion 55, and the two projections 61, 62 bite into the sheath 54. Since the folded portion 55 and the outer crimping portion 45 are electrically connected to a sufficient degree and a sufficient fastening force can be obtained, a stable electrical connection can be established.
