Abstract
A terminal is enhanced in a spring function of its contact tongue and formed into a compact size. A terminal body (31) includes a bottom wall (31c), a pair of side walls (31a, 31b) each of which stands on one of opposite side ends of the bottom wall (31c), and a contact tongue (32) formed on said bottom wall between said side walls. The tongue (32) includes a front spring portion (33) turned back from a front end of said bottom wall (31c) between the side walls (31a, 31b) and a rear spring portion (34) turned back in a U-shape from a rear end of the contact tongue (32) in opposition to the front spring portion (33). Each of the side walls (31a, 31b) of the terminal body (31) is provided with an engaging hole (36) which is adapted to receive a support projection (35) provided on the distal end of the rear spring portion (34) so that they (36, 35) support the distal end of the contact tongue (32).
