A tuning fork-like terminal is accommodated in a terminal-containing section. The tuning fork-like terminal is provided on the central end with a slit adapted to receive a tab being connected. Clamping portions are projected from the opposed surfaces of the slit to pinch the tab between the clamping portions. A slit gage is inserted into a rectangular terminal hole formed in an end of the terminal-containing section to inspect a slit width between the clamping portions of the tuning fork-like terminal. A wide hole portion is formed in the rectangular terminal hole at the insertion position of the slit gage. The wide hole portion is formed by widening a length of a short side of the rectangular terminal hole. The central position of the slit in the tuning fork-like terminal and the central position of the slit gage coincide with each other, even if the tuning fork-like terminal is maximally shifted from the central position in the terminal-containing section, whereby the slit width can be precisely inspected to precisely inspect a slit width in a tuning fork-like terminal accommodated in a terminal-containing section of an electrical junction box.
