Abstract
A female terminal includes a cylindrical portion having an opening for insertion of a male terminal. The cylindrical portion contains an elastic contact portion for pressing the male terminal inserted through the opening against an inner wall of the cylindrical portion. The elastic contact portion has a first arm, a second arm, and a first vertex for connecting the first and the second arms. An end of the first arm is connected to the cylindrical portion in the vicinity of the opening thereof. The cylindrical portion is provided with a supporting portion for restricting a degree of deflection of the elastic contact portion. The supporting portion has a third arm to be brought into contact with the first arm of the elastic contact portion for restricting deflection of the elastic contact portion. Contact surfaces of the first and the third arms are adapted in shape to each other so as to assure tight contact therebetween.
