Abstract
A female terminal fitting has a wall member which is not weakened as a result of cutting away bending regulating members therefrom, these bending regulating members preventing the excessive bending of a resilient contacting member. Anterior and posterior bending regulating members F and R are formed by cutting away a portion of a fitting member . These bending regulating members F and R prevent a resilient contacting member firm bending excessively. The anterior bending regulating members R are formed on a base wall , and the posterior bending regulating members F are formed on side walls . These bending regulating members F and R are formed on differing walls. Consequently, compared to the case where both bending regulating members F and R are formed on a single wall, the opening area formed by cutting away the bending regulating members is smaller on each wall, and accordingly the strength of the walls is maintained.
