ABSTRACT:
A terminal for an electrical connector comprises a terminal body section 11 which is formed in such a way that a metallic plate material is bent to be shaped at least in semi-cylindrical shape, an elastic contact piece which is protruded in the outside direction of a front section of the terminal body section 11, coming into contact with an inner peripheral wall of a terminal insertion hole when the terminal body section 11 is inserted into the terminal insertion hole of a connector housing from a pointed end of a front section thereof, and a wrong-insertion prohibiting piece which is provided to be projected at a bottom wall 11a of the terminal body section 11, being positioned at opposite side of the elastic contact piece for preventing the terminal from inserting into the terminal insertion hole due to precluding of the wrong-insertion prohibiting piece toward the connector housing when the terminal body section 11 is inserted into the terminal insertion hole in the inverse direction. The slitting-and-forming pieces are provided at positions to be shifted in the longitudinal direction on both end edges of the width direction of said bottom wall of the terminal body section 11, so that two pieces of the slitting-and-forming pieces are brought into two pieces of the wrong-insertion prohibiting piece 15.
