ABSTRACT:
In a female terminal body, a plurality of elastic contact pieces by which a male terminal is to be clamped and which are separated from each other in a peripheral direction by slits elongating in a longitudinal direction are disposed in a front part, and a cylindrical base portion for fixing a sleeve is formed in a middle part. On the cylindrical base portion, four grooves which are long grooves elongating in the axial direction and arranged in the peripheral direction at equal intervals, and an annular step portion for receiving the sleeve are formed. On the other hand, the sleeve which is a circular cylindrical protection member opens at the rear end so that the sleeve can be fitted onto the cylindrical base portion. Four beads which project toward the inside of the sleeve are formed in such a manner that they elongate with starting from the opening in the axial direction. The beads are disposed so as to respectively correspond to the grooves of the cylindrical base portion. A terminal insertion hole which functions as an insertion hole for the male terminal is formed at the front end of the sleeve.
