Abstract
A terminal fitting (10) includes a body (11) in the form of a rectangular tube, a tab (41) of a mating terminal (40) being inserted into the body (11) from the front. A resilient contact piece (22) is accommodated in the body (11). The tab (41) is sandwiched resiliently in a plate thickness direction thereof between the resilient contact piece (22) and a receiving plate (15) of the body (11). Holding portions (30) are formed integrally to the resilient contact piece (22) and capable of holding the tab (41) with a relative displacement of the tab (41) in a width direction with respect to the resilient contact piece (22) restricted by coming into contact with side edges (41S) of the tab (41).
