Abstract
A terminal includes a male terminal and a female terminal to be connected to each other. The male terminal includes a tab having a circular cross-section. The female terminal includes a body portion having a connecting space S formed inside, the tab being arranged in the connecting space S. The body portion includes a resiliently deformable resilient contact piece and a pair of receiving portions. The resilient contact piece has a variable connection surface arranged toward a center SO of the connecting space S when viewed from a connecting direction. The pair of receiving portions are arranged on a side opposite to the resilient contact piece across the connection space S and have a pair of flat fixed connection surfaces inclined to spread toward the variable connection surface. An opening angle of the pair of fixed connection surfaces is constant in the connecting direction.
