The resilient contact piece includes: a first fold being formed by extending an extending end portion from a wall portion of the cylindrical insertion portion and folding the extending end portion back into a hollow of the cylindrical insertion portion, the first fold being given resiliency; a second fold being formed by further folding the extending end portion inward, the second fold being given resiliency; and a stopper for regulating an amount of flexion of the resilient contact piece, the stopper being formed by bending the extending end portion of the second fold so as to confront a back surface between the first fold and the second fold. A male terminal fitting is retained in pressure contact with the resilient contact piece by inserting the male terminal fitting into the cylindrical insertion portion.
