A female terminal includes a tubular portion which has a square tubular shape and receives a male terminal therein and a resilient member which is provided in the tubular portion so as to urge the male terminal toward an inner surface of the tubular portion. The resilient member includes a curved portion formed by a strip-like electrically-conductive metal sheet and a pair of mounting portions integrally formed respectively at widthwise-opposite side edges of the curved portion and extending away from each other. The tubular portion has a pair of side walls opposed to each other and has a pair of through windows provided on the side walls respectively, the pair of mounting portions being inserted in the pair of through windows respectively. At least part of each of the mounting portions located respectively in the through windows is greater in thickness than the other portion of each of the mounting portions.
