PURPOSE: To shorten the whole length of a pressure fixing tool by disposing a pressure fixing member with an angle within 45° to the axial line of a driving shaft.

CONSTITUTION: A link plate 6 is linearly moved in the right-angled direction to the axial line of a driving shaft 43 by a plate cam 5 rotated by a driving mechanism 4, and the toggle link 33 of a pressure fixing member 3 is pressed to close edge plates 34, 34, a connecting terminal pinched between the edge plates 34, 34 is pressed and fixed. As this rotating directional load of the plate cam is received by the link plate 6, only the pressing force for opening acts on the toggle link 33. At this time, the pressure fixing member 3 is disposed on the top part of a case 1 at an angle of 45° to 135° to the axial line of the driving shaft 43.
