ABSTRACT:
A female terminal of a connector has a connection end for connecting with the core of a cable and a contact end for being inserted by a slender male terminal and making electrical contact therewith. The contact end includes a hollow cylinder whose two ends are connected to a neck and formed with an opening, respectively, and whose inner diameter ranges from 3.0 mm to 6.0 mm. The middle section of the hollow cylinder is provided with a plurality of resilient strips extending along an axial direction of the hollow cylinder, such that a slot is formed between each two adjacent resilient strips. Each resilient strip has two ends connected to the hollow cylinder and is 4.5 mm to 12.5 mm in length and 0.5 mm to 1.1 mm in width. Each resilient strip has a central portion deflected toward the axis of the hollow cylinder by a displacement ranging from 0.2 mm to 0.8 mm.
