Abstract
A connector terminal which includes a terminal base portion; and a tab extending from the terminal base portion to be inserted into an opponent terminal. The tab includes a bottom face portion and an upper face portion which extends from the bottom face portion and is formed by bending so as to overlap the bottom face portion. The bottom face portion and the upper face portion collectively form a tapered portion tapering off to a point at a tip end of the tab. The bottom face portion and the upper face portion are bent so that tip ends thereof approach to each other, and define an inner space therebetween.
