ABSTRACT:
A resilient contact piece portion is provided within a connection portion of a female metal terminal, and is folded back at a position spaced forwardly from a front end of the connection portion, thus forming a folded portion of a generally inverted V-shaped cross-sectional shape. Relief recesses for respectively receiving the projected folded portions are formed in a front plate of cavities in a female housing. Thus, a contact portion is shifted forwardly within the connection portion while the cross-sectional shape remains unchanged as before. The contact portion of the resilient contact piece portion is shifted forwardly, and therefore even if the length of projecting of a tab portion is short, a positive electrical connection between the tab portion and the resilient contact piece portion is achieved.
