ABSTRACT:
A female terminal comprises a square cylindrical electric contact portion having an opening into which a male terminal is inserted, an elastic contact piece housed in the electric contact portion and brought into elastic contact with the inserted male terminal, the elastic contact piece being formed with two side lug portions, and at least one supporting portion formed on at least one of side walls of the electric contact portion for supporting at least one of the lug portions formed in the elastic contact piece. In order to prevent the elastic contact piece from being dislocated from the supporting portion without increasing the external size of the female terminal, the supporting portion is elastically bent around a vertical axis, or around both horizontal and vertical axes, inwardly over the side wall of the electric contact portion.
