ABSTRACT:
A terminal fitting (A) has a receiving portion (17) with a contact surface (18) for contacting a male tab (T). The contact surface (18) is widest at the front end and substantially narrowed toward the back. A rate at which a contact area of the male tab (T) and the contact surface (18) increases in the insertion process of the male tab (T) is smaller as compared to a substantially rectangular contact surface having a constant width. The terminal fitting (A) provides good operation feeling upon manually connecting the male tab (T) with the terminal fitting (A).
