Abstract
A female-type terminal unit provided with an insertion portion for insertion of a male-type terminal at one end and a conductor connection portion for connecting with a conductor at the other end. A male-type terminal insertion portion is formed by facing plate-shaped terminal pieces. At the base side of the plate-shaped terminal pieces is provided a stopper piece for stopping the spread of the two plate-shaped terminal pieces when a male-type terminal is press-fit there. The two facing plate-shaped terminal pieces will not plastically deform due to twisting by the male-type terminal. Further, the stopper piece prevents the plate-shaped terminal pieces from excessively spreading apart.
