Abstract
A terminal (10) includes a body (21), a resilient contact piece (30) displaceable in a direction to separate a first contact point (31) from a second wall (bottom wall 22), and three projections (40F, 40R) provided to project toward a first wall (ceiling wall 25) from the second wall. The front projection (40F) disposed in front of the first contact point includes a front contact point (41F) provided on a projecting end part thereof and a front bead (42F) having a slope approaching the second wall as the slope extends rearward from the front contact point (41F). The rear projecting portion (40R) disposed behind the first contact point includes a rear contact point (40R) on a projecting end part thereof and a rear bead (42R) having a slope approaching the second wall as the slope extends forward from the rear contact point (41R).
