Abstract
A female terminal () includes a tubular portion () into which a male terminal () is to be inserted, a plurality of first resilient pieces () projecting inwardly of the tubular portion () from a bottom wall () of the tubular portion () and arranged side by side in a direction intersecting with an inserting direction of the male terminal () into the tubular portion (), and a plurality of contact portions () arranged at positions of the tubular portion () respectively corresponding to the plurality of first resilient pieces () and configured to sandwich the male terminal () between the plurality of resilient pieces () and the contact portions. Since this enables each first resilient piece () to apply a proper contact pressure to the male terminal (), the male terminal () is pressed against the second contact portions () at a proper contact pressure.
