ABSTRACT:
A contact portion structure of a female terminal (1) has a pair of opposing elastic plate portions (4), two pairs of flat plate-shaped contact portions (5) each pair extending from one of the opposing elastic plate portions (4) and bent at right angles at each end thereof, and contact projections (8) each formed on each inner surface of the flat plate-shaped contact portion (5) and brought into contact with a pin portion (7) of a mated male terminal (6). In particular, a diameter of the contact projections (8) is determined larger than a V-shaped groove (9) of the pin portion (7) of the mated male terminal (6). As a result, it is possible to prevent any contact projection (8) from entering the V-shaped junction groove (9) of the pin portion (7) of the male terminal (6), so that the two male and female terminals can be connected to each other stably without any eccentric contact. Further, since a pair of the elastic plate portions (4) are formed extending from one side of the square cylindrical portion (2), the female terminal can be formed at a high precision with a press machine.
