ABSTRACT:
A female terminal for receiving a plate-shaped male terminal includes a terminal body consisting of a wire connection portion and an electrical connection portion to connect with the the male terminal. The electrical connection portion has a pair of opposing elastic plates for elastically pinching the male terminal therebetween. The female terminal further includes a protective member for covering the electrical connection portion. The protective member has an opening defined at a front portion thereof and slits formed on sidewalls of the protective member. When connecting the inclined male terminal with the female terminal, the leading end of the male terminal is initially introduced into the protective member through either one of the slits. By pivotal movement of the male terminal thereafter, the male terminal can be connected to the female terminal so as to be in alignment therewith.
