ABSTRACT:
A female terminal has an electrical contact portion of a cross-sectionally square, tubular configuration, and one wall of this electrical contact portion serves as a retaining wall. A retaining hole is formed through the retaining wall generally centrally of the width thereof, and a notch of a rectangular shape is formed in a central portion of this retaining wall at a front end thereof. Slanting piece portions are formed at the front end of the female terminal, and are disposed respectively on opposite sides of the notch, the slanting piece portions being curved inwardly relative to the cross-sectionally square, tubular portion. When the female terminal is inserted into a terminal receiving chamber in a housing, the slanting piece portions, provided respectively on the opposite side of the notch, elastically deforms an elastic retaining lance provided in the housing, and when the retaining lance becomes fitted in the retaining hole, the female terminal is retained in a predetermined position in the housing.
