Abstract
A female terminal includes a hollow contact portion of a substantially quadrangular cross-section for receiving a male terminal through an opening formed in a front end thereof, so as to establish an electrical connection between the male terminal and the female terminal, and a resilient contact piece, formed in the hollow contact portion by folding a tip portion of the bottom plate portion of the hollow contact portion, for biasing the male terminal toward the roof plate portion of the hollow. The resilient contact piece has a first piece portion which extends from the front end of the hollow contact portion so as to be inclined upwards toward the roof plate portion. The female terminal also includes a plurality of protruding portions extending from the bottom plate portion toward the roof plate portion, for supporting thereon the first piece portion while maintaining the elastic deformation of the first piece portion when an excessive force is applied to the first piece portion.
