Abstract
A terminal fitting has a resilient contact piece ( ) coupled to an inner ceiling wall ( ) via a resilient supporting piece ( ). The resilient contact piece ( ) is cantilevered back from the resilient supporting piece ( ) and then is bent forward. A portion of the resilient contact piece ( ) is resiliently deformable upward and downward with a folded portion ( ) as a center. The resilient contact piece ( ) is entirely displaceable along the longitudinal direction with the resilient supporting piece ( ) as a center. An auxiliary spring portion ( ) has a first and a second curves ( ) that project up and down immediately before the folded portion ( ) of the resilient contact piece ( ). The auxiliary spring portion ( ) can be elongated and contracted resiliently along the same direction.
