A piercing terminal having electric connection with a conductor of a flat circuit body such as a flexible flat cable (FFC) and a connector utilizing the same. The connector includes multiple piercing terminals and a connector housing. Each piercing terminal has an elongated tube having a lengthwise direction for alignment with a lengthwise direction of the conductor, and crimp edges for crimping the conductor of the FFC. The crimp edges protrude outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction from an outer surface of the tube. The connector housing has terminal receiving rooms for receiving the piercing terminals and a FFC receiving room for receiving the FFC crimped with the piercing terminals.
