The female terminal includes a bent substrate having an L-shaped cross-section, a wire compressively contacting portion formed on the outer surface of one side portion of the substrate, and a terminal engaging portion formed on the outer surface of the other side portion of the substrate for receiving therein a tab terminal so as to be substantially perpendicular to the base plate. The terminal engaging portion is received in the recessed portion while ensuring predetermined clearances between the outer surface of the engaging portion and the side walls of the recessed portion. The base plate is covered by the cover while receiving the electric wire in a guide groove formed in the base plate.
