Abstract
A female terminal fitting ( ) has a main body ( ) in the form of a rectangular tube. An elastic contact piece ( ) is formed by folding back an extending part of a vertical wall ( ) on the main body ( ). An accommodation space ( ) is defined in the main body ( ) upward from the elastic contact piece ( ). A male terminal fitting ( ) can be inserted into the accommodation space ( ) and displaced downward to bring the male terminal fitting ( ) into contact with the elastic contact piece ( ). Restricting projections ( ) project from upper and lower sides of the elastic contact piece ( ) and are held in contact with a receiving portion ( ) that bulges out from the vertical wall ( ). The restricting projections ( ) prevent the elastic contact piece ( ) from being deformed in response to forces exerted by the male terminal fitting ( ).
