ABSTRACT:
A female terminal fitting has a rectangular tubular body (12) with opposed first and second walls (16, 17) and an insertion opening (15) for receiving a tab (11). An elastic contact piece (21) is inside the body (12) and extends obliquely from a support (27) on the second wall (17) of the body (12) towards both the first wall (16) and the insertion opening (15). The elastic contact piece (21) then bends back towards the second wall (17) to define an apex (23). A projection (30) projects toward the first wall (16) from a location on the elastic contact piece (21) between the support (27) and the apex (23). The elastic contact piece (21) deforms flexibly about the support (27) when the tab (11) is inserted into the body (12), thus sandwiching the tab (11) between a contact (31) of the projection (30) and the first wall (16).
