A terminal-equipped electric wire includes a terminal and a coated conductive wire, which are electrically connected to each other. A crimp part of the terminal is crimped to the coated conductive wire, and has a conductive wire crimp part, which is crimped to a conductive wire that is exposed from a coating on the front-end side of the coated conductive wire, and a coating crimp part, which is crimped to the coating of the coated conductive wire. On the front-end side (terminal body side) of the conductive wire crimp part, an electric wire holding part, which applies a relatively strong holding force on the conductive wire, is provided, On the rear-end side (coating crimp part side) of the conductive wire crimp part, a conductive part for achieving conduction with the conductive wire is formed.

A crimp terminal includes an F-type crimp portion and a C-type crimp portion. The F-type crimp portion has first and second barrel tabs, preferably with an identical length, for crimping a tip end of a complex stranded wire. The F-type crimp portion is adapted to have distal ends of the first and second barrel tabs put together and pushed into the tip end of the complex stranded wire to be crimped. The C-type crimp portion has a third barrel tab for crimping the complex stranded wire. The third barrel tab is wound in a C-form on an outer periphery of the complex stranded wire to be crimped. The arrangement provides a crimp terminal and an electric wire with crimp terminal, that prevents or reduces increases in retained resistance at a crimp portion, and can also prevent an electric wire from slipping out of a crimp terminal.
