Female terminal, connector, busbar, terminal-equipped electric wire, connector-equipped electric wire, and wire harness

A female terminal, provided with:

• a spring member to be electrically connected to a male terminal to be connected;
• and
• a terminal main body having a base portion, the base portion having electrical conductivity and electrically connected to the spring member, wherein
• the base portion has a pair of side walls spaced apart by an insertion space configured to be inserted with a part of the male terminal,
• the spring member is arranged between the pair of side walls in the base portion,
• the spring member is fixed to the side wall with a conductive welded portion with which the spring member is conductively welded to the side wall,
• a plurality of the conductive welded portions are provided along a predetermined direction,
• the spring member has a plurality of arm springs arranged along a direction intersecting a depth direction from an opening toward a deep side of the insertion space, each of the plurality of arm springs having an arm shape and extending along the depth direction in the insertion space, and
• at least one of the plurality of the conductive welded portions extends in a line along a direction intersecting the depth direction, and spans a region corresponding to all of the plurality of arm springs when viewed in the depth direction.
