ABSTRACT:
A female terminal includes a resilient contact piece portion which has a front folded portion folded back from a front end of a flat bottom plate portion of a tubular contact portion, an ascending piece portion extending slantingly upwardly from the front folded portion toward a top plate portion of the tubular contact portion, and a descending piece portion extending slantingly downwardly from a distal end of the ascending piece portion toward the bottom plate portion. A free end portion of the descending piece portion is arcuately bent, and is directed toward the front folded portion to form a resilient abutment portion. With this construction, the contact pressure is obtained not only by the reaction forces from the ascending piece portion and the descending piece portion, but also by the reaction force from the resilient abutment portion, and therefore the large contact pressure can be obtained even with the small configuration.
