ABSTRACT:
To provide a female terminal used in an electric circuit, as well as a method of producing such a terminal, a resilient contact piece, mounted within a receptive portion for receiving a male terminal, is positively retained, thereby providing the female terminal with a high reliability. In the female terminal, a resilient contact piece is mounted within a receptive portion formed by bending an electrically-conductive metal sheet. A retaining projection and a retaining hole are provided at each of side walls of the receptive portion. With this construction, retaining ends of the resilient contact piece are engaged respectively in the retaining holes, and even if the side walls are curved by pressing forces applied during a bending operation, the retaining projections positively retain the retaining ends of the resilient contact piece.
