Abstract:
A female terminal (10) includes a rectangular tubular body (24) extending in a front-rear direction. A first resilient piece (26A) is folded from a bottom wall (16) into the body (24) via a first base end (40), and a second resilient piece (26B) is folded from the bottom wall (16) into the body (24) via a second base end (42) in the same folding direction as the first resilient piece (26A). The second base end (42) is displaced from the first base end (40) in the front-rear direction. The second resilient piece (26B) is closer to the bottom wall (16) than the first resilient piece (26A). The second resilient piece (26B) is pressed by the first resilient piece (26A) and resiliently displaced toward the bottom wall (16) with the second base end (42) as a fulcrum when the first resilient piece (26A) is displaced toward the bottom wall (16).
