A terminal includes: a tubular box portion to receive a mating terminal; a spring portion extending in a beam shape from a front end portion of the box portion; and a pressing piece configured to restrict a bending range of the spring portion. A free end of the spring portion is inside the box portion, and the spring portion has a contact point with the mating terminal. The pressing piece is placed at a pressing position located inside the box portion and away from the contact point in the bending direction. The pressing piece is configured to restrict the bending range of the spring portion to achieve at least part of the spring portion closer to the free end than the contact point is located on the bending direction side with respect to the pressing position.
