Abstract

A female terminal for a connector wherein a leaf spring is provided inside the terminal proper. The front half of the terminal proper is provided with a bottom wall, side walls rising from both ends, in the direction of width, of the bottom wall, an outer upper wall and an inner upper wall extending from the upper edges of side walls to the upper edges of the opposing side walls. A leaf spring is formed by separating said rear inner upper wall from said side walls, with the rear end of said rear inner upper wall being left intact. A bead with a curved section is formed on the leaf spring to increase the flexural rigidity. The female terminal can be compactified, and a sufficient contacting force can be provided reliably. The contacting part of the leaf spring can be shifted forward. The developed shape can be made smaller. The bending steps can be reduced.
