ABSTRACT:
In a weak mating force female terminal forced with a base plate portion; a pair of elastic curled portions extending from both side ends of the base plate portion so as to be folded over an inner surface of the base plate portion; and a pair of electric contact portions each extending from a middle end of the elastic curled portion so as to bent outwardly along the inner surface of the base plate portion at an inner end of the elastic curled portion, in particular each of the elastic curled portions is formed with a primary inclinded guide portion extending upwardly and outwardly toward a male terminal insertion opening at an outer end of the elastic curled portion; and each of the electric contact portions is formed with a secondary inclined guide portion extending upwardly so as to intersect the primary inclined guide portion of the elastic curled portion at an outer end of the electric contact portion. Therefore, the male tab terminal can be mated with the female terminal smoothly by a weak mating force, in particular when the number of the terminals is large.
