ABSTRACT:
A female terminal formed by folding a piece of plate material has an electrical contact portion of a substantially quandrangular prism, which has a bottom plate portion and an opening and into which a flat male terminal is inserted through the opening for establishing an electrical connection between the male terminal and the female terminal. The female terminal also has a resilient contact piece which is formed in the electrical contact portion by folding an end portion of the bottom plate portion and which has a bent portion. In order to protect the bent portion of the resilient contact piece, a protecting wall portion for preventing the male terminal from contacting the bent portion of the resilient contact piece is so arranged as to cover a lower portion of the opening of the electrical contact portion.
