PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new connection structure for a ground terminal, in which a grounding wire can be prevented from rotating without providing an excessive though hole in a ground side member, and a ground terminal can be connected and fixed to the ground side member with good workability.SOLUTION: A ground side terminal 44 is protrusively provided in a grund side member 12, and the ground side terminal has a protruding base part 46 and a top plate part 48. A grounding terminal 10 has a mounting part 26 and a pair of resilient tongue parts 28, 28, and slide contact engagement parts 34 are provided on the tip sides of the resilient tongue parts 28, 28 while contact parts 42 are provide on the base end part sides thereof. The grounding terminal 10 is pressed toward the ground side terminal 44 with the top plate part 48 of the ground side terminal 44 inserted between the slide contact engagement parts 34 of the grounding terminal 10, and the grounding terminal 10 is thereby connected and fixed to the ground side member 12 with the slide contact engagement part 34 engaged with the bottom face 60 of the top plate part 48, and the contact part 42 brought into pressure contact with the peripheral surface 58 of the top plate part 48.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】接地側部材に余分な貫通孔を設けることなくアース用の電線の回り止めを阻止することができ、作業性よくアース端子を接地側部材に接続固定することができる、新規なアース端子の接続構造を提供すること。【解決手段】接地側部材１２には接地側端子４４が突設されていると共に突出基部４６と天板部４８を有しており、アース端子１０が、載置部２６と一対の弾性舌片部２８，２８を有しており、一対の弾性舌片部２８，２８の先端部側に摺接係合部３４が設けられている一方、基端部側に接点部４２が設けられており、アース端子１０の摺接係合部３４間に接地側端子４４の天板部４８が差し入れられた状態で、アース端子１０を接地側端子４４に向かって押圧することにより、アース端子１０が、摺接係合部３４が天板部４８の底面６０に係合し、かつ接点部４２が天板部４８の外周面５８に圧接された状態で、接続側部材１２に接続固定されるようにした。【選択図】図１
